| REVIEW |
| The U.K.-based musician and film director
Jamie Catto and producer Duncan Bridgeman co-produced this impressive (music CD /multi-media DVD), which boasts an eclectic array of artists ranging from
Senegal's Baaba Maal to the king of ambient, Brian Eno. This project, the fruit of a
six-month, five-continent recording spree, is a funky, folkloric, and futuristic
of sampled indigenous instruments and electronica. “Braided
Hair”teams the rap-country vocals of Arrested Development's Speech
with the daring pop diva Neneh Cherry. The South African mbaqanga vocals
of the Mahotella Queens provide the Afro-rave underpinnings for vocalist
Ulali's poetic pleas for African unity. The tantric trances of the South
Asian tabla drums pepper the synth-laden. “When You Dream”
which features R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe and the Indian star Asha Bhosle.
Boundaries of nationality, time, and musical genre meld into grooves for
the head, hips, and heart that need no translation. |
