A brazen horn alerts of a charge that stampedes like a Brazilian Carnivale prancing over you, tripping over your head and leaving a cartoonish orbit of stars and tweety-birds around your skull. That's just the first two minutes of "Voodooluba TV Show," the opening track of this second album by
Niobe frontwoman
Yvonne Cornelius. And before the song is over, she will drift into a somber, folk-acoustic pluck that speaks in tongues and itself gets run over by yet another parade.
