| "Sounds of the Streets is a collection of poems interpreted by Piri Thomas in his own unique dramatic style and blended with the creativity of fine musicians. In this recording, soaring on wings of musical truth, the spoken word has been transposed onto a new plane, beautiful "wordsongs," which contain the feelings, the heartbeat, and the wisdom of the barrio way.
This recording will set a standard for the blend of poetry and Latin music. Piri has created a perfect marriage between his 'flows' and the improvisational image conjured up in the mix." |
No Mo' Barrio Blues is a collection of 12 poems/lyrics performed by Latin Flowmaster Piri Thomas to the beat of original salsa/jazz and reggae music. Produced by Greg Landau, and featuring such musicians as Mark Kaye, John Callaway, Enrique Fernandez and others, and the voices of Zakiya Hooker and Maria Cora, among others, this fusion of diverse sounds, voices, and textures, bonded together with the poetry, is a new genre, "wordsongs." This project blends rhythmic elements of Latin America and the Caribbean with the funky hybrid styles that are flowing from the Barrios from Buenos Aires to Alaska. |
