Simon's voice and African world music plus Olodums Brazilian Groove: schööön

Paul Simon took advantage of 1989/90 the power of the Brazilian street drummer combo Olodum, Brazilian sounds and musicians, as well as South Africa Known as Ray Phiri. Unmistakable are also West African sounding sounds. All this has put together a new world music CD which can also be made over about David Byrnes Brazilian world music projects. The lyrics are accustomed to cryptic, but since Paul Simon fans are hardened.

The CD-INSERTS offers three photos, the texts and the musicians of the respective pieces. 10 songs including the album, something like this: forty-five minutes.
The songs of "Rhythm of the Saints" at a glance:

1. The Obvious Child: Here is Olodums post the biggest, but the rhythm is already sufficient. That a drum intro may be a catchy! In Paul Kantor is to voice an autobiographical text, how well he and his family have it yet
2. Can not Run But: at first hearing a "What a waste", now a "Ge-Ni-Al"; driving, odd-verschobenene synth and percussion rhythms; among other incidental music for Slava Polumins' Snow' show!
3. The Coast: ajar musical West African music, but also enriched with Simons beloved Doo-waa's; the aforementioned Church of St. Cecilia is likely to have something to do with the fact that Cecilia is the patron saint of music
4. Proof: acts like a fat BMW six acres of beautiful bicycles; the horn section is much too fat; Paul has live interspersed here at least two brilliant phrases
5. Further To Fly: beautiful melody that is more in the accompanying guitar; dissolved the fear of dying in Music
6. She Moves On: the grooviest song; Armand Sabal-Lecco fetzt a bass, and you want to listen to it ten times in succession.
7. Born At The Right Time: similar theme as 1; Paul had it not good, different reading: the Messiah comes already; very nice vocal harmonies
8. The Cool, Cool River: again one of the pent-up songs with towering rhythms against each other, which matches the prompt
9. Spirit Voices: the Brazilian Milton Nascimento sings falsetto with, and that's really the interesting part of the song
10. The Rhythm Of The Saints: the cool voice of Paul Simon is less musically interesting than what the rest of the grooves Combo

Conclusion: yet another page that Paul Simon - has pitched - especially with Brazilian help. Recommendation.
