A mixed bag of flamenco, salsa, Afropop versions of American pop songs. I’d play it all for the amusement value, but a few really are quite good. It’s a very fun collection, and interesting to hear the interpretations these artists bring to these well-known songs. *1. Flamenco Lou Reed cover. So odd it’s kinda fun. *2. Swinging, retro-Brazilian version of Hit the Road Jack. 3. Light kora, percussion, mid-tempo & quiet. 4. Senegalese hip-hop cover of Toto. (Remember them?) *5. Gospel-inspired, down-tempo & smooth. 6. Zydeco bounce to this Jackie Wilson classic. *7. Cheesy fun, 3 Malian women do Hall & Oates. 8. Afro-funk tribute to Jimi Hendrix. *9. A quirky Euro/Cajun/Salsa sound. 10. French hip-hop – interesting blend of kitsch & cool. 11. A bit overdone, but the harmonies are lovely. *12. Check this out, an Okinawan girl group doing Bob Marley on the Shamisen. 4/03 | ||
