Description of Global Drum Project (Snys)
Grateful Dead percussionist Mickey Hart's innovative Planet Drum CD convened some of the world's finest drum talent for a collaboration that won the very first GRAMMY for world music -- bringing together Nigerian drum legend Babatunde Olatunji, Indian tabla virtuoso Zakir Hussain, Nigerian talking drum ace Sikiru Adepoju, and Puerto Rico's master conguero Giovanni Hidalgo, among others. The 1991 album spent an unprecedented 26 weeks at #1 on the Billboard world music chart, and continues to sell as a perennial favorite.Fifteen years later, the musical partnership of Hart and Hussain -- which began with their groundbreaking 1970s world fusion experiment Diga Rhythm Band -- resumes, with a fresh collaboration of tranced-out grooves, elegant electronic programming and hypnotic tuned percussion and again enlists the great partnership of Adepoju and Hidalgo. This time they are joined by Taufiq Qureshi on percussion & vocals, Niladari Kumar on sitar, Dilshad Khan on sarangi, and the late, great Olatunji in sampled vocals from the original sessions. Elements from Hart's various world music recordings, including the Kaluli tribespeople of Papua New Guinea's rainforest, are woven with the live performances into a danceable, multitextured celebration of rhythm.
It was three decades ago that Mickey Hart stepped out from behind the Grateful Dead and created his first global drum project on Diga Rhythm Band. That album still sounds as fresh and vibrant today as it did in 1976, when it was received more as a curiosity than the world-music prophecy it turned out to be. Hart and his rhythm partner from Diga, tabla titan Zakir Hussain, reworked the concept for their Planet Drum album in 1991, and they now return with Global Drum Project. It's an CD that continues Hart's infatuation with electronic toys and their percussive possibilities as he mixes samples and MIDI-triggered electronics into the works. With Planet Drummers Sikiru Adepoju and Giovanni Hidalgo plus Taufiq Qureshi joining in, there's little doubt that GDP is a groove-centric album. After the exultant opening track "Baba," featuring Babatunde Olatunji, the soul of the original Planet Drum, sampled posthumously, most tracks settle into dark, swampy, steady-state grooves. Sampled rhythmic singing from Zakir punctuates "Under One Groove," while "Heartspace" adds sarangi and sitar for a more Eastern, meditative space. It isn't the virtuoso rhythm workout you might expect, but neither is it the orchestrated percussive percolations of Diga or Planet Drum. Instead, it's a chilled electro-percussive jam session with looping grooves oscillated by electronics and cut with a digital razor. --John Diliberto
