Free Music Notes for Asian Groove
Free Music Review: Asian Groove
Hit: 4 Stars
I liked the song on this CD very much, but I do wonder why it was called Asian Groove when it basically covered only Indian and Pakistani music. The groove logo also usually means dance music and this music isn't necessarily dance music. Just the same I liked the songs, just felt the CD was misrepresented as Asian when it was a lot more centralized than that. That's why the linear notes mention Birmingham, England as being the center of the CD's music scene.
Asian Groove Poster
About a generation ago, South Asian immigrants living in the bleak, industrial British city of Birmingham invented an ethnic-based brand of party music. Today's young ravers have upped the ante, drawing on percussive Punjabi bhangra and qawwali, an ecstasy-inducing Pakistani devotional style made famous by the late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. These are then festooned with defiantly artificial canned snares and ambient electronics, plus absurdist quotes from Bollywood musicals, saccharine Euro-pop, and over-the-top lounge clich?s. The resulting polyglot pastiches tend to be fashioned in broad strokes and are thus not ideal for quiet living room listening. However, they are BPM nirvana when experienced in a nightclub with a few hundred other blissed-out, glassy-eyed dancers. That said, these are fascinating examples of one of the world's more subtly subversive underground movements, where music is being made by and for populations who prefer to assimilate only so much and on their own terms. --Christina RodenInternational Music CDs
