5.0 out of 5 stars The very best work of Trilok Gurtu, July 30, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: African Fantasy (Audio CD)

It is always good to "listen" when musicans are on constant progress. Trilok Gurtu with his new work is not only afirming his place as the best jazz drummer/percussionist, he is also getting a place as a really important musican. All titles are excepcional and you can find a lot of styles in just one album.

This review is from: African Fantasy (Audio CD)

This Mind boggling effort brings out the juice that has been rooted deep down by every percussionist (atleast good ones)in this era,Master Percussionist Trilok Gurtu and Gang,rock the steamboat wicked,by fusing Jazz and Funk Rhythms with African,Indian,Balinese and other forms of Indigenous beats, Great vocals on all of the tracks by the african singing sensations,Kai's slaps da' the groove out of his bass,and Shobha Gurtu is as exuberant as always!,As many fans are lucky to have this album released under Polygram/Blue Thumb for easier accessibility than his earlier album "Khatak" which went totally inaccessible in asian countries(esp.South East),this release should get more hands on it,else there is always Amazon.Com!

5.0 out of 5 stars Clean. A celebration of rhythm., October 5, 2000

I heard a few samples of this CD on NPR and immediately ordered it. The reviews below this one say it best. The vocals are as clean and fresh as a spring morning and the percussion is the same. It is hard not to move with the music. I wish I knew what to buy next in this genre.
