Cat No: EUCD2601Artist: Ana AlcaideTitle: Tales of Pangea - Gotrasawala EnsembleFormat: CD
‘Gotrasawala’ (‘global gathering’) describes the fascinating encounter between Spanish performer and world music composer Ana Alcaide and remarkable musicians from West Java (Indonesia). An inspiring album of exciting music, melding Western forms with instruments and patterns from traditional Sundanese music.
--Rarely does one hear an ensemble even attempt to fuse such diverse musical cultures. Even more rare is when they do it well, with dignity, respect, power, and beauty. This album positively defied my expectations. This is a truly global album, filled with textures and melodies that feel familiar but open the ears to a brand new experience.
