Crandell, Richard - Mbira Magic
SKU
TZ8005
Richard is a master of the simple-yet-beautiful African thumb piano (the mbira). This is a series of pieces for one or two mbira's plus percussion by Cyro Baptista. Really nice. "Hypnotic and beautiful music for mbira from an American maverick in the Terry Riley/Harry Partch tradition. A colleague of Leo Kottke, John Fahey and Thomas Mapfumo, Richard Crandell has been captivating audiences with his intricate mbira tapestries for years. Minimalism meets world music in this charming and delicate series of West Coast etudes for modified mbira" [Tzadik]
