Ibarra, a Filipina-American who grew up in Texas, was raised playing the <i>kulintang</i>, an eight-gong instrument from the Philippines. But as she pursued jazz drumming, she left traditional music behind -- that is, until she married fellow percussionist Roberto Rodriguez and the two took a trip to the Philippines. Inspired by the local music, the duo came back and used laptops, sound snippets recorded on the islands, and electrified <i>kulintang</i>, among other things, to create the band's strange, hypnotic hybrid of a sound. Ibarra's free music collaborator Thurston Moore has played live with the project and also appears on the album. - Sarah BardeenWorld Fusionen720Wed, 25 Nov 2009 10:27:02 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.16474980&variant=artist-playlists&rws=%2Felectric-kulintang%2Fplaylists.rss Avant-garde jazz drummer Susie Ibarra made Electric Kulintang happen.
