The gentle, rhythmic percussion of Cameroon's Baka pygmies meets more ornate Northern European musical traditions in this wonderfully exotic, yet hauntingly familiar blending of cultures. Guitarist Martin Cradick and his wife, singer Su Hart, lived for a time with the Baka people (in a West African rain forest relatively devoid of Western influences) studying and playing their music, and have borrowed from it traditional instruments and a distinctly lustrous energy. Cradick blends Baka-inspired music with Ghanian rhythms and Irish and Scottish influences, among many others, in JOURNEY BETWEEN. This album is the latest chapter in a continuing series of records exploring these global connections, featuring musicians from Britain, France, Ghana, and Senegal, with violinist Paddy Le Mercier and Cradick himself providing a strongly Celtic sensibility to the album, and vocals in both Senegalese and Gaelic.
