21:43 PM"After studying with free-jazz icon Cecil Taylor, the Pyramids left for a journey through Africa in 1972 where they connected with their cultural roots and developed their own musical vision. On Rhapsody in Berlin this vision is still vibrating; a melodic horn theme interplays with a Pygmy flute, some driving riffs and a heavy funk rhythm. The music will walk you through an enchanted jungle that seems somewhat quiet at first - despite the sense of its hidden power. Suddenly, but elegantly, the music explodes and the saxophone takes off and flies freely before merging with a singing violin into an ecstasy of percussion." www.phonicarecords.com - Jan 10, 2024
