Elspeth exposes her deep Cuban music roots in this highly rhythmic recording, but also gives us a glimpse of new directions in her sultry and subtle South American and jazz-influenced sounds.
Bio / Background
BIO: Although Elspeth's interest in African roots music probably began in childhood with her obsession for Scott Joplin's rags, she had been singing classical music for many years when she had her first significant encounter with Cuban music. The rhythmic counterpoint and call-and-response between the akpwon (lead singer) and ankori (chorus) were exciting and powerful, and in the ensueing weeks Elspeth put her classical training aside in order to focus on congas, Cuban dance, folkloric Cuban song, and Spanish language. "Concentrating most of my early efforts on drumming was a good decision," Elspeth explains. "Nothing could have better informed my singing in this style. Like Rebeca Mauleon says regarding Cuban musicians, 'we are all drummers'".
Elspeth has been singing for and directing Orchestra Zarabanda (formerly Yerbabuena), a 12-piece Cuban charanga band, for the better part of a decade. O.Z.
