Promo Listening Experiment Day 3
Jun. 11th, 2008 06:48 pmYusa "Haiku Du Paz": World music today, from Cuba. I'm listening to a singer-songwriter sing in a language I don't understand. Starts with acoustic guitar harmonics, then vocals in massed harmonies, making me fear this'll head to "Kumbaya" Land. Fortunately when Yusa is in the forefront herself, she follows a darker melody. So, a touch of virulence, done with restraint. Maybe in her subtle way she's taking little flips over the dark top? I can't tell. I'm not excited, which may be owing to my ignorance or to the performer's quiescence. I wouldn't tick this, but since I'm hearing moments of potential nonplacidity, it's worth a link: scroll down a little and it's streamed on the left.
