New Age Voice, January 2001 Dan Liss
The arrangements let two principal melody instruments, guitar and synthesizer,
soar over the constantly bubbling brew of percussion that percolates
throughout. If you have a taste for a jazzy world recording with flashes of
tribal fire, check this out. The guitar and the synth define the sound and lead
the path all the way so that the entire venture is led by melody and supported
by generous amounts of rhythm. The vocalists on the title cut are possessed of
a relaxed yet seductively lyrical quality, while the drums head off in the
direction of a medium dance groove that is more inviting than insistent. They
make good use of percussion instruments that are not often in the spotlight
such as the kalimba in Elefant Ride or the clay drumwhich they use to fine
effect in Give me five.
A very pleasant energy cruises with this et from beginning to end.
Dance and play the night away..., October 30, 2000 Aurora Lyn from behind
the auroral curtain in Alaska
The Nazca label is producing some really excellent, interesting music. Located
in Portugal, Nazca brings together European talent not often heard in the
States. This CD, Dancing Tribe, is a good introduction to the type of fun,
danceable music the label provides. Musicians from around Europe and North
America come together to share a musical impression of fusion music for dance
and trance meditation. This is not a heavily synthesized album, although there
are portions of the tracks which include samples and some dubbing. The overall
feel of the music is more spontaneous, and reflects the inspiration of the
artists who collaborated to make this CD, so much fun to listen to. Try it, I
truly believe that you will enjoy it. You can dance or drive or even meditate
to the music. The mood is up to you.
