Who'd-a thunk it?.......2007-06-19

Between release of this album and now, Cheech Marin became a bona fide actor and co-starred with Don Johnson on "Nash Bridges". I can just hear Pedro de Pacas' sidekick Man; "Pedro becomes a pig? Bummer, man!" This album was my follow-up purchase to their first album after hearing the duo's Holiday hit "Santa Claus and His Old Lady" the previous year. I bought their earlier album looking for that track, and to this date, no C&C album has featured it. You have to get Dr. Demento's "Greatest Christmas Novelty CD Of All Time", but that's another story. This album grabs you from the first track "Sister Mary Elephant", and I was reminded of it this past Sunday in church, where four baptisms were held. The predictable noise level caused by siblings present forced the Father to practically bellow his sermon, despite the p.a. system, and I commented to my choir director that the padre could have used the help of The Screaming Nun; "Good morning, class...Class....SHUUUUTUUUUUUP!!!" You will also get a foretaste of Marin's versatility in the next album "Los Cochinos", when Marin uses a great Quebecois accent to interview Chong in the part of a crab louse "Buster da body crab" in one sketch on that release. A lot of the humor in C&C's work is sophomoric to say the least, aimed at the Animal House demographic whose sons watch Comedy Central's Carlos Mencia today, but the content of these men's humor obscures the fact that they are brilliant.

No Sophomore Slump On This One!.......2003-12-30

By the time Richard and Tommy were ready to record again, they had become BIG STARS, which was somewhat unexpected. Their first album was a hit, but these guys were now in the same league as the biggest rock bands of the time, something unheard of in the comedy field. To support their first album, when they came to Denver, they played a great little club called Ebbets Field in downtown. When BIG BAMBU arrived, they were playing arenas. They were the hottest ticket going.
And they deserved it: BIG BAMBU was a great follow-up, from the huge rolling paper which came with the original LP to tracks such as "Sister Mary Elephant" (a hit single), "The Continuing Adventures of Pedro de Pacas and Man", our two favorite canines, "Ralph and Herbie", a right on the target skewering of every television cliche imaginable including the famous "Let's Make a Dope Deal", and so much more. These were all bits that you memorized and shared with your friends, falling into hysterics every time. Their first three albums are their very best, and all worth adding to your library. Of course they're silly, timely, sophomoric, socially astute, scatological, and sometimes profound. That's what makes the best comedy. Thank you, Tommy and Richard. You're the best.

Must Have for Party Animals.......2003-09-24

I bought this record upon its original release (circa 71-72) at the tender age of 12, it was my parents reward for having cursed me with my first pair of glasses.

Mom hated it....dad *loved* it...and he was a 20 yr Army Vet (translated-POT IS DEADLY mentality).

I challenge even William Bennett not to laugh at this.

Cheech and Chong in '04.......2003-01-24

If I had not memorized this CD when it was an album I might not be sure I was here for the seventies and eighties! The humor is timeless and the timing is brilliant! Worth listening to even sober!

- Leo Gandelman (several years in a row as the best instrumentalist in Brasil after this album)
- Armando Marcal (extremely sought-after studio player in the world)

Product Description

Bambu Sun From Now On Corina BartraÂ’s new CD represents a look both back and forward in musical direction. The new album is both a return to the Peruvian artistÂ’s Afro-Peruvian jazz roots after two wonderful chanting/meditation records, and a look forward to joyful and rewarding musical days ahead. anbu Sun reflects a bright and joyous spirit that consolidates the artistÂ’s pioneering incorporation of Afro-Peruvian and New Latin undercurrents into her own personal creation. Fans of CorinaÂ’s previous jazz CDs, Corina Bartra Quartet, Son Zumbon and Travel Log, will find she has even revisited a couple of the key songs on those records, holding them up to the light of an Bambu sun to find new meanings. It is great to hear "Peace Loving People Are on the Rise" and its timeless message in a new version. As always, Corina fronts top-rate musicians like Rufus Reid, Jay Rodriguez, Cliff Corman and Vince Cherico, and their support of her mix of originals (like "Guajira Son" and "Sol Azabache") and covers (Wayne Shorter, Lennon/McCartney) is outstanding. Listen hard and you can hear a lot of things on Bambu Sun: bits of bebop, the complicated rhythms of Peru, energetic male voices on choruses or just exclaiming behind the music (the recording sessions must have been fun). It is really impressive and also the first time to hear in a jazz recording two cajon players playing counterpoint rhythms together on "Majoral." LetÂ’s hope there is nothing but bambu sun for this engaging artist from now on! --MARK FOGARTY

Danceable music with an organic sound of cross-cultural fusion.......2007-07-15

Playing Time - 63:05 -- Born in Peru but currently living in New York, jazz vocalist and percussionist Corina Bartra shows the varied influence of her upbringing and life encounters. By the third cut, Bartra's original "Enlightened Heart," we realize that the primary goal of the band's Afro-Peruvian and Latin Jazz music is to paint pictures of magical landscapes full of rhythms of love and light. Bartra sings with vigor and clarity, and there's a diminutive ache in her voice on a song like Lennon and McCartney's "Black Bird." A healthy amount of original material makes up their repertoire, and it seems that many of Bartra's songs exhibit lament or hope with messages like "Peace Loving People Are On The Rise." The band is both rhythmically and melodically propulsive. The repertoire is quite enchanting with it various popular Peruvian rhythms such as the Marinera, Lando, Baiao and the Festejo. In 6/8 time (like an Irish jig), the Marinera is an intricate and elegant dance of courtship. The Lando comes from an African fertility dance called the Landu, and the Festejo is a celebratory song and dance in a fast 6/8.

Afro-Peruvian music, song and dance had its orgins with African slaves brought to the Spanish colony of Peru in the 16th century. As Peruvian slaves assimilated the culture and language of their new country, Afro-Peruvian music became a unique blend of Spanish, Andean and African traditions. While hundreds of years old, the music has experienced somewhat of a resurrgence within the past three decades. Because the Africans weren't allowed to play their own instruments, simple household items became percussion instruments. A hardwood wooden box called the cajon is one such instrument that is thought to have originated in Peru. On "Bambu Sun," the tone and slap of the cajon are provided by Perico Diaz or Oscar Torres. Diaz also offers thr traditional percussion sounds of the cajita and the quijada de burro. A small wooden box, the cajita is played with a stick while the other hand opens and shuts the top rhythmically to the music. The quijada is a donkey's jaw that is played by striking the wide part of the jaw with the fist to obtain a rattle sound. Other instrumentalists on the album include Cliff Kirman (piano), Jay Rodriquez (sax, flute), David Hertzberg (bass), Rufus Reid (bass), Vince Cherico (drums), Math Baranello (drums) and Oscar Hoyos (guitar).

Bartra's danceable music has an organic sound of cross-cultural fusion. It illustrates a healthy respect of tradition along with original, contemporary presentations.The Lando at track 11, Bartra's "Magia y Ritmo Ancestral" (Magic and Ancestral Rhythm) refers to the liberating dance of the wind, sand, sun. This may be the crowing moment on this project because this sentiment so accurately captures the objective of Bartra and Azu's magical music. (Joe Ross, Roseburg, OR.)

Very Very Solid. . ........2006-10-10

I may at some various points in my life tire of hearing the foot lifting, flag waving vibes of soca music and even the headrocking, booty shaking dancehall vibes. At some point you just need a break from something that relentless. However, 100% of any time you may catch me anywhere, I will always be in the mood for a good roots reggae tune. No matter the artist, no matter the country of origin and no matter the producer, of all my musical interests, the strongest is that straight one drop, I love it!

Enter Bambu Station, one of the finest roots collectives in the entire world. Joining the ranks of the legendary Midnite band, Bambu Station, hailing from the VI has made quite a name for themselves outside of the mainstream of Jamaican reggae making some of the finest and well polished vibes availables anywhere. The group hails from both St Thomas and St Croix which makes available to them some of the finest young talent in all of reggae music.

That serves a great purpose on Talkin' Roots 2 which is essentially a compilation of various artists voicing on different Bambu Station backed riddims. The artists are all from various parts of the Virgin Islands and they are all artists to watch in the future. I love the way the album is set up because, even if you have being paying attention to that vibe growing in the VI this album will introduce you to several new names.

The best song here without a doubt is the well powerful My Powaz by St Thomas native Pressure. Pressure's debut, The Pressure is On was the finest reggae debut album I heard all of 2005 and to see him in such fine form on another release confirms that his label didnt just pick some of his best tracks, but that is the way he makes music , Pressure maybe the main artist to watch on this entire album.

Also check the fine lovers rock tune Never Change My Mind by unknown (to me) Lady Passion from St Croix. The song is so laid back and tamed that it works on so many levels besides the typical vibes on most of these tracks. I'm also quite impressed (even though I was subsequently less impressed by his album) with Ijah Menelik's from Montserrat well powerful Baggawire, the song is a nice introduction to the artist (just avoid his debut album) as he does a fine job.

Also check the Star Lion Family collective, which includes the aforementioned Pressure, and one of the few artists from this project to have released a solo album (2 to date) Niyorah, on Hold the Faith (also check their EP, Brighter Days). I also like Ras Bumpa's well polished vibes on Do Good as well as Danny I going Vaughn Benjamin on his Dem No Tired.

Overall, I feel pride in this release. As a Jamaican native and someone who splits his time between JA and St Maarten, this album makes me proud to be West Indian! There is a ton of fine fine young and established acts emerging, CONSCIOUSLY, from the Caribbean, giving a mighty praise to my generation, yes we do get the point of being conscious and responsible, it is a necessity. But apart from that, Talkin Roots 2 is just a big album! Make no mention that Bambu Station's efforts are top notch, all of these riddims are very well done and very well produced. Definitely gets my seal of approval!
