World Pop Experience  

SolarGuitars Presents: The World Pop Experience The latest CD from Delmar Brown is much like the future of music that trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie predicted in his autobiography. In Dizzy's book 'To Be, or Not to Bop', the jazz icon describes the future of music to be 'like a quilt with all of the worlds music represented on the different patches. The World Pop Experience is akin to this quilt that Dizzy anticipated many years ago. A quilt with patches of Brazilian rhythm, the pulse of reggae, vocal influences of gospel, exotic sounds of Middle Eastern music, and the vibrant drumming of Africa combined with American pop. The result is a compositional soundscape that is contemporary, rich and fresh. Delmar Brown, the driving force behind 'The World Pop Experience', packs this new release with 12 original songs, from the Brazilian-influenced Bakia to the reggae influenced Jah Man Jah. The performances aIways challenge musical boundaries and skillfully blend diverse influences. 'The World Pop Experience' is Delmar Brown’s vehicle to take his music of the world - to the world.
