Customer Reviews:
A novice's view...........2000-11-01
I don't really follow "world" music. Honestly, this is the first bit of music I've experienced from the genre. I bought it because the reviews on NPR were really good. I was not disappointed. Gurtu's music is rich in sound and rhythm, and is an enjoyable listen. I was, however, surprised how prevalent the influence of "western" pop music is in Mr. Gurtu's music. I don't suppose this is a negative thing, but in my first foray into the genre I expected to find something wholy new and refreshing and instead I found many of the same things you find elsewhere.
Clean. A celebration of rhythm........2000-10-06
I heard a few samples of this CD on NPR and immediately ordered it. The reviews below this one say it best. The vocals are as clean and fresh as a spring morning and the percussion is the same. It is hard not to move with the music. I wish I knew what to buy next in this genre.
The very best work of Trilok Gurtu.......2000-07-31
It is always good to "listen" when musicans are on constant progress. Trilok Gurtu with his new work is not only afirming his place as the best jazz drummer/percussionist, he is also getting a place as a really important musican. All titles are excepcional and you can find a lot of styles in just one album.
Cultural Manifesto!.......2000-07-29
This Mind boggling effort brings out the juice that has been rooted deep down by every percussionist (atleast good ones)in this era,Master Percussionist Trilok Gurtu and Gang,rock the steamboat wicked,by fusing Jazz and Funk Rhythms with African,Indian,Balinese and other forms of Indigenous beats, Great vocals on all of the tracks by the african singing sensations,Kai's slaps da' the groove out of his bass,and Shobha Gurtu is as exuberant as always!,As many fans are lucky to have this album released under Polygram/Blue Thumb for easier accessibility than his earlier album "Khatak" which went totally inaccessible in asian countries(esp.South East),this release should get more hands on it,else there is always Amazon.Com!
