Speaking In Tongues
Speaking In Tongues
|
Four astonishing musicians from four different countries with four native tongues. An unprecedented combination of Chinese pipa, African and Middle Eastern percussion, and Latin bass. "It is a West African Drum ensemble driving along under the butterfly wings of an Asian melody. It is the romance of Brazilian jazz orchestra with Middle Eastern drums. It is folk music from a new world." |
Sowah Mensah,
multi-instrumentalist and composer from Ghana.
Enrique Toussaint, bassist from
Mexico City.
Marc Anderson, Minnesota
percussionist
Gao Hong, pipa player from China.
The Audience Responds:
"It's so harmonious even though
the instruments are very diverse. I love it!"
" If this is where we are going in the 21st century, I want to be along for the ride!"
" I bought the whole seat, but only needed the edge."
" Best of fortune - a dream band!"" This wasn't just a concert. It was an experience! A whole world in one evening. Speaking in Tongues is connected with a fundamental universal force that is within all peoples of the world."
"Fantastico los mejones oracias."
"Wow! ( I didn't know pipa was a rock n' roll instrument!)
