Spaanse band Dusminguet
scoort goed met Go
Als er één band op dit moment hot is dan is het wel het Spaanse Dusminguet. Veel festivals azen op deze swingende band uit Barcelona. Couleur Cafe in Brussel heeft ze en als we het goed begrepen hebben past Dusminguet ook in het Spaanse thema van het International Folk Festival in januari volgend jaar in Tilburg en Gent. De BBC recenseert op haar site de cd Go (Virgin). Reviewer Charlie Gillet is enthousiast. Hij besluit zijn proza met de woorden: Can't wait to see them live.
Hier enkele citaten uit zijn recensie:
…For the second time in recent months, a band from Barcelona is top of the heap. But whereas Ojos de Brujo base their sound around flamenco, Dusminguet (pronounced Duss-min-get) is a Catalan outfit that gathers together just about every roots style except flamenco. Most tracks feature accordion, several bounce along on a jaunty Colombian cumbia rhythm, and others evoke the reggae and ska of UK two-tone bands. Acoustic guitars are strummed hard and fast on some songs, and are played with melodic flair on others…
…The fast and effervescent title track, "Go", makes an immediate impression, with accordion and guitar driving the rhythm under the catchy words. Near the end of the album, "Cosa Fea" may be even better, with an unusual guitar sound playing a melodic figure that runs through the whole song. If the Specials or Pogues had chosen to go acoustic and try a song in Spanish, they might have come close to "Nitson". "Maneras" and "La Rabia" are almost pure Cumbia and "El Cami" features fascinating interjections from a female singer called Cherif I Aruna, who sounds as if she might come from Rajastan but is more likely from North Africa….
