Les Nouvelles Polyphonies Corses avec Hector Zazou-Corsican vocals plus......

[walt]

This 1991 cd features Corsican vocalists singing traditional and modern vocal arrangements with acoustic and electronic instruments accompanying them.The instruments were recorded separately from the vox.At first i feared this might be "by the numbers" World music, but my fears were unfounded. This is beautiful music,imo, and not a pastiche of elements shoved together with little care.Hector Zazou adds gentle electronics,Jon Hassell plays trumpet on a couple of tracks,John Cale plays piano on a track.

It works(for me).I post a track from the cd.Enjoy.

Thanks. This is great. I'll include it on my radio show.

Zazou was sometimes utterly brilliant - sometimes.
