You may never have thought of Celtic and African rhythms as complementing one another, but this very interesting effort takes both idioms into new territory with some engaging results. The outcome is a sort of
hip-hop jig and reel, like
the Chieftains meet
the Chemical Brothers.
Masamba Diop's masterful talking drum creates an exotic pulse under
Myrdhin's fine Celtic harp, and it sounds like a party at some global crossroads. Indeed, the most fascinating aspect of
Afro Celt Sound System's
Volume 1: Sound Magic is the very real sense that a common language can be found between any cultures, no matter how divergent they may seem. This effort is worth a listen just for its audacity alone.
