Bamboula 2000 – The Wild Bamboulas
“Making the drums talk” should, perhaps, be the title of this CD.
With more than half a dozen types of drums and other exotic
percussion instruments that originated in Africa and the Caribbean, Bamboula 2000 has
created yet another musical masterpiece that is deeply rooted
in the traditions of those locales, plus their native New Orleans.
This has been their specialty since their founding twenty years
ago.
However, Bamboula 2000 is more than just a music lesson on
the many cultures whose rhythms it replicates. It is a polyrhythmic,
multidimensional showcase that brings other genres into
the mix, including R&B/soul, jazz, funk, gospel, Mardi Gras Indian
chanting and more. Led by multitalented percussionist Luther
Gray, the core group consists of Eric Hornsby (keyboards),
Jeremy Thomas (trumpet), Cameron Woods (drums), Clark Richardson
(drums/percussion) and Cheryl Woods who alternates
lead and backup
