Description
Pieces of Africa Kronos Quartet.
When released, Pieces of Africa was subject to some of the same "cultural imperialist" criticism that had been more successfully leveled at performers like David Byrne and Paul Simon. The album consists of commissions from African composers working at varying distances from European conventions. But whereas Byrne and Simon arguably used the music of Brazil or South Africa as backgrounds over which to display their own egos, the Kronos Quartet's members managed to sublimate themselves in service to the compositions, never giving the listener any sense of condescension

LP (12" album, 33 rpm). Kronos Quartet (Artist) Format: Vinyl. The Kronos Quartet goes back a long time. It is a transitory group of musicians, as it should be. Honestly, I am not a "cutting edge" person, whether it be music or, especially, food. Which is why I appreciate this CD. It goes back to the early 1990's, on the cusp of the aforementioned and African traditional. It was well received. After listening to all the Kronos Quartet recordings in the Marin County Public Library catelogue, Pieces of Africa is my very favourite. Thanks to Dumisari Maraire for prompt delivery in time to shaare with my brother for his 75th birthday. One person found this helpful.
