What do you say to this sort of fusion: ?



aleksi -> RE: For you purists (Apr. 23 2009 22:56:32)

I have the cd and I think its a rare case of some fusion welldone. Most of worldmusic stuff out there is just badmix of everything, but this is good. They know what they are doing and have some aesthetical sense. In the moment my favourite from the album is solea por buleria.



xirdneH_imiJ -> RE: For you purists (Apr. 23 2009 23:22:25)

i agree, the album is good...
not something i listen to very often, but it's well done and is very likeable if you also like the sounds created indian classical music...



mrMagenta -> RE: For you purists (Apr. 23 2009 23:53:34)

Like Aleksi, my favourite is also the solea por buleria. Great album in my opinion. But I don't consider myself a purist.



HolyEvil -> RE: For you purists (Apr. 24 2009 4:53:25)

very very wonderful.. beautiful!!!
i wonder whether the chinese pipa (upright guitar-ish sorta instrument) can do that as well..

cheers

cool idea. Not much flamenco or even rumba in it. REally it is a 3 way fusion, indian and flamenco musicians interpreting, more or less, Piazolla's tango (libertango they took this from)....the piano is adding the argentina influence. For me this is tango music (no not flamenco the nuevo tango of piazolla) with spanish and indian flavoring. The rumba strumming the guitar adds is really a double time feel of the base tango rhythm.

I love this stuff. It shouldn't offend any purists because they are calling it what it is...it's a fusion. What I have a problem with is when something is called Flamenco when it's actually not, out of pure ignorance. These guys are all great musicians that respect and understand each others musical backgrounds, and wanted to try something new by combining them.
One of my favorite albums is Pepe Habichuela and the Bollywood Strings "Yerbaguena"...it's much more Flamenco, really a Flamenco album with Indian sounds. And he's got Morente singing on there... great stuff.

I agree 100 percent. Its not flamenco but I like it alot. If you dont like fusion at all then you probably wont like this. I particularly like tabla on flamenco tracks. If you are going to be purist and say that the gypsies originally came from north india then this type of rhythmical accompaniment could be said to be more authentic than the cajon.

i don't get it, unless you have a different definition of what a "purist" is, i would expect a "purist" by definition to dislike any sort of fusion, so why ask what they say to it?

....not many "purists" here to take the bait by the looks of things![:D][:D][:D]
