Free Music Notes for Gumboots
Free Music Review: Never seen the show and very sorry I missed it!
Hit: 5 Stars
I bumped into the DVD accidently while at a local book store and quickly searched the store computer to see if there was an album. I have never seen the show and I have to agree with both reviewers. The CD stands on its own. AND there is wonderful variety.I own 2 Ladysmith albums and while they are excellent, there is little variation between albums and songs. This album has both wonderful a capellas and variety. The use of narrative, percussive instruments, sounds of boot stomping, and bottle top rattling, creates a wonderfully rich context for each of the songs.
If you own Power of One or any Ladysmith you will like this CD.
I'll let you know what the DVD's like when I buy it!
Gumboots Poster
It would be tempting to describe Gumboots as a South African version of Tap Dogs or even Lord of the Dance, and based solely on this recording, it wouldn't be that far off. The "gumboots" of the title refers to boots that South African mineworkers used to wear. Often adorned with bottle tops, they could also be used as percussive instruments as the workers performed a variety of dances. Most recently, they've been endorsed as a symbol of self-expression and liberation by the Rishile Gumboot Dancers of Soweto. Although some of the songs are traditional, most of the material was written by Zenzi Mbuli, the show's director, and Vincent Ncabashe, and should appeal to fans of South African pop and of Ladysmith Black Mambazo. But while the songs are good enough, the whole point of Gumboots is to let the dancers fiercely strut their stuff--and judging by this CD, these boots are made for stomping. --Elisabeth VincentelliBroadway & Vocalists Music CDs
