Codona

Name derived from the letters of the name of Collin Walcott (tabla, sitar), Don Cherry (tpt, p, hunter's guitar), and Nana Vasconcelos (per). Multi-ethnic improvisational music, mostly stemming from Walcott's interest in Eastern Indian rhythms and Vasconcelos's Brazilian heritage. Cherry's experience with folk music of Scandinavia, Morocco, and Africa makes for a unique, major-league fusion. ~ Michael G. Nastos
