Enter "La Luna Lounge" to experience the hypnotic global grooves of Moodafaruka. Moodafaruka's new CD "La Luna Lounge" is influenced by the rich musical traditions of the world, while not being bound by them. Listen and you will hear compositions that are at once familiar and new...Spanish melodies woven into an Indian raga, or Indian percussion with Arabic vocals and a western guitar.
Thanks for reviewing this album! You should see it show up on the album page in a few days.
What a great album! Hypnotic, sparse world music under the influence of Indian grooves. Indian music is by no means the only musical influence that makes it's presence known here. This album is something of a musical travelogue of chanting rhythms from around the world. Of particular interest is the masterful melodic construction. The tunes are simple, slowly building works that gently reveal the melodies and textures that grow organically out of the players. It's mostly instrumental but vocals weave into the mix from time to time. This is a true melting pot project, it's not authentic field-style recordings of any one musical style. So if you want music with all the rough edges intact, this might not be your cup of java. If, however, you want to hear some beautiful music that melds together many musical styles with excellent playing, this album should not be missed.
