Audio By Carbonatix
We’ve noticed a pattern in world-music criticism these days, especially pieces penned by American audiophiles. Anytime an album from Africa is reviewed, the terms “groove-oriented” and “polyrhythms” appear, ad nauseam. That’s good and all, but can y’all change it up a bit? Just a little? Thank you very much.
The Kawambe-Olawambe Drum and Dance Theater will create its own unique West African-inspired audio gumbo — possibly with groove-oriented polyrhythms — during the Callaloo Festival. The concert takes place in conjunction with the “Callaloo: An African Arts Stew” art exhibit.
