▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ Release Notes ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
There has long been a cultural exchange between the East and
the West. Marco Polo and the Silk and Spice trading routes
began the process that, over time, has led to the creation of
new musical styles. Putumayo presents examples of this
ongoing musical interaction with the release of Asian Lounge.
Travel from London to Bombay, Bali to Tokyo with this
compilation of innovative Asian fusions, the sixth in
PutumayoÆs successful Lounge series.
More than half the tracks on Asian Lounge have never been
released in North America, paving a path for those who like
to stay connected with ever-evolving music scenes. Japanese
stars, the Yoshida Brothers kick off the collection with
"Fukaki Umi No Kanata" (Beyond the Deep Sea). The brothers
have achieved fame in Japan by reviving the popularity of the
tsugaru-shamisen, the 16th century instrument theyÆve
mastered and incorporated into their modern sound.
A revival of another kind brings us Nitin SawhneyÆs "Koyal"
(Songbird), a song he composed for the soundtrack of a
recently restored silent Indian film. Sawhney is perhaps the
best-known musician featured on Asian Lounge. As an artist of
Indian heritage currently living in the UK, SawhneyÆs
eclectic musical offerings incorporate everything from drum
and bass to classical Indian music, making him a leading
figure in BritainÆs "Asian Underground".
Also pulling from the rich heritage of Indian music is the
German artist Prem Joshua, whose "Funky Guru" blends Sufi
chants, Sanskrit poetry and Indian folk music with Western
electronica. Joshua has become a music star in India and
frequently records with noted Indian musician Manish Vyas.
Their successful collaborations include "Water Down the
Ganges," the 11-minute opus.
Audiences around the world will also delight to hear "Eastern
Journey," a track from producer and multi-instrumentalist
Biddu, whose extensive career includes co-writing credits on
the 70s funk-disco super hit "Kung Fu Fighting". A recurring
figure in both the Indian and UK music scenes, Biddu has
continued to remain in tune with popular culture.
Another familiar face on Asian Lounge is that of famed health
and wellness guru Deepak Chopra. His "Oceans of Ecstasy" is
an ambient dreamscape of sensual grooves, passion-soaked
vocals, undulating chants and intoxicating rhythms. Other
featured artists include Bali Lounge, Ancient Future, Nataraj
XT, XCultures and Blue Asia, whose song "Campuhan" embodies
the essence of this Asian Lounge collection. Meaning "two
rivers meet" in Balinese,"Campuhan" merges the ancient and
modern worlds by mixing Indonesian gamelan with ambient
effects and spoken word. More artist information and a recipe
for an Asian cocktail are included in the tri-lingual liner
notes in English, Spanish and French.
