Tír Na HiFi

Was able to catch these guys on my holidays at the Nice Jazz festival. Superb gig and great eclectic festival. The Mali and Cuban rhythms combine so well with Roberto Foncescas piano and Fatoumatas powerful soaring voice complimenting other superbly. It was a truly mesmeric and exhilarating performance as we were swept upon wave after wave of swirling rhythms and African beats. real high energy stuff but also beautifully paced with some gorgeous piano solos and acapella singing. The stunning outdoor setting under the stars on a balmy July evening just completed the atmosphere making for a perfect evening.

I think it fits in here.... it could be electronica either.. or folk, or rock....

Lovely chamber music from round the world even includes the blues classic - Dark was the night, cold was the ground - used extensively by Ry Cooder in Paris Texas.
Couple of Irish numbers in there too.

Lovely follow-up to their "Chamber Music" album.
Recorded outdoors with plenty of ambient noises too.

A nice introduction to Steve's music is to be found on this 3 CD set :


A Steve Tibbetts music compilation / best-of/ remasters went out to radio and other media types in late 2010. It’s a 3-CD best-of split into acoustic, electric, and “other” music (Acoustibbetts, Elektrobitts, Exotibbetts). If you can think of anyone in your area who should get it (sympathetic media types, cool record stores, good music programs either online or on-air) let us know. Send a letter or postcard with information to: Frammis, Box 6164, Mpls, MN 55406 USA, and you’ll get a little gift in return. Include your mailing address.
