#3189: More Cross-Cultural Music
German percussionist and producer Sven Kacirek collected field recordings from his travels along the Kenyan coast and in the hinterland near Lake Victoria. Then, with a bit of studio wizardry, he layered marimba, piano, and various other percussion atop the Kenyan musicians. We’ll listen to this musical journey through Kenya for this New Sounds program.
We’ll also hear Percussionist/composer Cyro Baptista and his touring band, Banquet of the Spirits, take on some of John Zorn’s Masada compositions,from Masada Book Two - The Book of Angels. Listen to Bombino from Niger, an incredible Tuareg guitarist, who will deliver some loping Saharan blues, along with the latest from the Afro-Peruvian singer Susana Baca. And more.
