CD Reviews

I Dare You Not to Dance
T. Burke | PA USA | 09/05/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is some of the happiest music you will ever hear. A great mixture of African rhythms and the lightness of calypso. This is absolutely NOT one of those low-budget, "A Taste of Marimba", cut-out bin selections. These folks can PLAY. Lots of good percussion, but the highlight is the marimbas (even what sounds like a BASS marimba) all working together to create a totally fresh sound. Trust me. You may not know it now, but you need the sound of marimbas in your life."
Great Marimba Ensemble Music

"This CD is awesome! You will love it! The music is a great mix of african and latin styles. The interlocking patterns are very interesting and the feel of the music is very upbeat. Even if you have never heard of the marimba, at least give this CD a listen.By the way, Marimba players rule!"
Nice, but falls short

"where do I start..... first, this is a nice and for many people an enjoyable CD. That said, it must be pointed out that it is only so-so (at best) in relation to the (only a few) high quality Zimbabwe marimba bands that exist today or have ever existed. It all springs from the pioneering bands of Dumisani Maraire (including his first, and many people would say the best ever and unsurpassed marimba band, Dumi and the Minanzi Marimba Ensemble). As a matter of perspective, this CD should be considered on par with a growing pack of similar (and rather average/ho-hum quality) marimba bands."
