Though this album comes from one of America's most creative pop writer and singer, it comes from a musical tradition emanating in Latin America
An early release for David Byrne's own Luaka Bop label, Rei Momo demonstrates his commitment to these sounds and song structures and even offers the singer singing in other languages. This is upbeat music that sometimes sounds a bit tinny, but overall works its magic. Luaka Bop releases from other artists, not so much this one, best show why this label is one of the best going today.
