The Music of the Month
For a contribution of 20.00 a month, I'll be sending you a recording from somewhere interesting, each and every month.
Some months you will have a choice, some months it will be a surprise, and once in a while, there will be an extra bonus surprise as well.
Lee Blackstone writes:
"Two musicians from Niger meet with a Breton flautist. Serendou are comprised of Yacouba Moumouni (flute, vocals), Boubacar Souleymane (singer, percussionist, guitar and kountigui � a one-stringed lute), and Jean-Luc Thomas (ebony flute, electronics, vocals). Zinder's substance is thrilling on several counts. The musicians go deep into Nigerien music. The tunes shimmer, and the flute playing brings to mind the circularity that one hears in Breton music � a round, call-and-response rhythmic sway that characterizes a lot of the album. They create a sonorous palette of influences to create an original, vital statement. The composed and the spontaneous merge, and flow with grace into something wondrous." Read Lee's full review.
