I am always dubious of world discs where the promo material uses phrases like “a thrilling new global soundscape.” But this one won me over. Naples-born Avitabile & band are joined by a truly international cast of guests including Hugh Masekela, Manu Dibango, Khaled, & Baba Sissoko. Lots of percussion, horns & strings with sounds ranging from the mid-eastern funk to Mediterranean folk. He’s got a cool, bluesy voice too. 1. Khaled’s vocals, horns, strings, a dancy rai-jam. 2. Midtempo w/some cool percussion & great strings. *3. Masekela’s horn & solid percussion, vox, mid/uptempo. Cool. 4. Dark & downtempo w/good vocals.. *5. A bouncy happy thing w/excellent sax work. 6. Relaxed w/cool wailing vocals from Amina. Nice. 7. Mid/uptempo w/wailing vox, cool percussion, Kinda hypnotic. 8. A relaxed blend of vox/perc/flute w/a lyrical feeling.. *9. Great percussion/vocals/horn in a delicious folk dance. *10. African percussion & a brass band, fast vocals, way cool! *11. Umtempo folk dance w/wonderful strings. *12. Voice & percussion, that’s all. Uptempo w/a driving energy. *13. Live version of #5, equally cool w/an extra sense of passion. | ||
