Free Music Notes for Digdig
Free Music Review: Very cool.
Hit: 5 Stars
I have several of Bob's cd's, and I think this is my favorite. Like Vincent Vega's experience with Amsterdam and Paris, the music on this set has "little differences"...It's accessible- it's not particularly "strange", but it is interesting (in a good way!). There's a nice variety of ensembles. very cool.
Digdig Poster
L'Ile de la R?union is the alluring volcanic island situated 600 miles east of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean and is home to a vibrant culture that is passionate, joyous, sexy and rhythmic. Digdig unlocks the shimmering beauty of this island's music with this magical collaboration between La R?union's accomplished accordionist and guitarist Ren? Lacaille and musical explorer, Bob Brozman. Digdig presents the music that evokes the natural elements of fire, wind and ocean at work on the beautiful island of La R?union and also pushes boundaries with pleasant surprises around every corner.Bob Brozman is a true ambassador of the Hawaiian slide guitar, island hopping from Martinique to Okinawa to collaborate with other top musicians little known outside their own countries. His fluid and occasionally witty steel guitar finds its perfect foil in the hyperactive rhythms of Ren? Lacaille, a guitarist, accordionist, singer, and composer from the Indian Ocean island of Reunion. Lacaille alternates between tropical Gallic pop suggestive of a steamy cabaret and fiercely energetic homegrown dances that percolate with African influences. Among the liveliest pieces are the instrumentals that comprise about half of the disc, and these mingle the inevitable island-trader-route cross currents as suggested by the high-speed, high-octane mix of Arabic modalities and homegrown sega rhythms on "An Dio." Brozman and Lacaille exchange and mingle licks as briskly as the beat of a hummingbird's wings. The rhythms rise from a lickety-split local 12-beat foundation, which Brozman says alters the hearing of a song depending on your count--either via two-pulse or three-pulse units. Good luck keeping track, but in the gleeful delirium you probably won't bother counting. Lacaille plays South American charango guitar on some of the tracks, while a backing acoustic band adds furious percussion. As Brozman proved on two collaborations with Okinawan singer Takashi Hirayasu, his lush slide guitar sounds perfect in any milieu, and once again he and his collaborator have carved out a brave new genre. --Bob Tarte
