DAVID GILMOUR : LIVE IN GDANSKon Palladia
Quote from: Ruby Mae on 1 Dec 2009, 04:43 amDAVID GILMOUR : LIVE IN GDANSKon Palladia Sweet!
Alejandro has been playing music for years now, with his albums available only in Japan and South America. Like another Western Hemisphere musician, Bob Brozman, his music has less to do with the land of his birth than with the places he has traveled. A multi-instrumentalist, he has mastered instruments from three continents: the sitar and mridangam from India, the mbira of the Shona people of Zimbabwe, and the Paraguayan harp (arpa in Spanish). ..Each of the instruments he plays, especially the mbira, is culturally specific to a place and a people. At first glance, we might mistake the mbira for what we call a thumb piano (kalimba) over here, but it is far more sophisticated, with two rows of "keys" and five specific tunings. In fact the name of the instrument is modified according to its tuning, so on Khali you will see credits for agandanga mbiras and nyamaropa mbiras, two separate tunings that create very distinct sounds and moods.
