Awards for World Music 2003 profile
Awards for World Music 2002 profile
nominated by:
Ruth Rosselson, Manchester:
'Yet again, he has provided one of the most memorable live performances of the year at WOMAD in July. Got his fantastic new album for Christmas and was not disappointed.'
Jane McConachie, Canada:
'Rhythm god.'
Nick Quinn, Headcorn:
'He has managed to bring the complex rhythms of classical Indian music into a jazz context with fantastic results. He is an astounding percussionist, who has a profound technical ability.'
Pete Crockett, Clynderwen:
'From John Mchlaughlin to Oregon (or visa versa,) to his own bands, the percussionist par exhalant has returned to his roots but has dragged, (screaming and kicking!) techno, dance and rave into a multi-cultural mixing pot! (Corny, I know, but listen to the first track and understand) and it works!'
Jo Clayton, London:
'Because he is a musical genie. He loves his music and casts his net wide for musical sounds, beats and feelings, but his fusion isn't diluted. We saw him at WOMAD and his enthusiasm is infectious.'
Trilok Gurtu, Pilton:
'For his enduring innovation, pioneering and radical approach to fusion and spiritually alive performances!'
