My Bongo
Brad Dutz-perc.
John Holmes-perc.
Dutz and Holmes use dozens of instruments throughout this record. There are 16 tracks and very few of these instruments are employed twice. Included are some I’ve never heard of: kidi, sogo, cupchimes, caxixi, gyli, tar-ine and bougarabous. To what end? Well the duo tries to do what any adventurous musicians do-expand the possibilities of sound. It’s well above-average fare here, but there’s not much that’s exactly arresting. Although I have to say that the tracks featuring the marimba and the waterphone are marvelous.
