Turner may be in the process of doing the same for Spanish music, and in doing so, he brings to mind another great Spanish innovator: Manu Chao. But Turner's in less of a manic rush than Chao: his seamless integration of reggae, soul, Afrobeat and bossa nova lopes along, lounge-y and intelligent, but never hurried. It's no surprise that his 2006 debut, <I>Guapapasea,</I> is so assured; Turner's an experienced singer-songwriter who's worked with bands including Perroflauta, los Reverendoes and the Animal Crackers before assembling the loose group that joined him for <I>Guapapasea</I>. - Sarah BardeenWorld Popen720Thu, 26 Nov 2009 06:06:42 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7635016&rws=%2Fgecko-turner%2Ftop-tracks.rss The word on the street is that Gecko Turner was deeply influenced by Afrobeat great Fela Kuti -- and we can hear that -- but if he conjures anybody, it's the young Jorge Ben, whose jazzy, playful, Afro-Brazilian-influenced pop of the 1960s helped redefine Brazilian popular music.
