Tanbou Kache by Diana Golden - DeepRiffs

ALBUM

Tanbou Kache means "hidden drum" in Haitian Creole. The term was originally applied to the music of composer Werner Jaegerhuber but is relevant to several of the composers included on this recital album by cellist Diana Golden and pianist Shawn Chang. Although the music is largely in conventional European forms, there's an interesting layer of hidden African rhythm, especially in the piano part, that appears subtly and intermittently. This is not the deep fusion of Villa-Lobos, or even of Louis Moreau Gottschalk, but it's intriguing on its terms. The project has the feel of a personal enthusiasm of Golden, with several pieces having to be transcribed for the cello. Jaegerhuber's Petite Suite pour violoncelle is an authentic cello work, but it doesn't really fit the theme: it is a purely Bachian counterpoint exercise. Listen to the Suite haïtienne of Frantz Casséus for a stronger taste: the work was originally written for guitar and was recorded by the composer on the Folkways label in the 1950s. There are also works by members of the Haitian diaspora and by composers born in the U.S., reflecting a wide range of influences but still distinctive. Thus, the program covers several generations of music-making and gives a flavor of a tradition that will be unknown to most listeners.
