AMG EXPERT REVIEW: The world music bin at the record store
is a depository for all non-Western sounding musics. From
field recordings of Australian aborigines spinning
bull-roarers in a ritual context to studio-produced fusion
musics that use an occasional tabla sample for the sake of
added exoticism, the world music category catches them all.
On Hollow Bamboo, celebrated bansuri player Ronu Majumdar
tunes into a few of the different bandwidths offered within
the world music spectrum. With half of the tracks he grounds
his playing in traditional Hindustani works. Accompanied by
the penetrating tabla playing of Abhijit Banerjee on most of
these cuts, Majumdar whips up stunning melodic gusts that
swirl in and out of time with the tabla. The other four
tracks are experimental collaborations with trumpeter Jon
Hassell, guitarists Rick Cox and Ry Cooder, and
percussionist Joachim Cooder. "A Day for Trade Winds," a
song formed upon richly textured guitar drones, is the most
successful of these four fusion tracks because guitarists
Cox and Cooder lay back and let Majumdar develop subtle, yet
sophisticated, melodies. "African Queen" is a less
successful hybrid, due in part to the fact that Joachim
Cooder's hand drumming drowns out the superior playing of
Banerjee. Whatever the contributions of his collaborators
may be, Ronu Majumdar's sensitive performance on the hollow,
bamboo bansuri makes this CD a great listen, no matter what
end of the world music spectrum you're coming from. John
