Dub This Road - TAIKOPERA (ダブ・ディス・ロード - たいこペラ) | Powell Street Festival 2021

An innovative musical meeting, and long-distance hi-fi collaboration between British hapa singer / recording artist Denise Sherwood and groundbreaking all-women’s drum groups, Sawagi and Onibana Taiko, with sound designs by legendary dub reggae producer Adrian Sherwood 
Specially recorded for Powell Street Festival online, DUB THIS ROAD is a short film adaptation of Denise Sherwood’s debut album THIS ROAD, and presented as a preview version of TAIKOPERA- an experimental concept fusion of taiko drumming and contemporary opera. 
Featuring a unique cast of musicians and performers in a 21st century journey of performance traditions and pandemic theatrics, DUB THIS ROAD (TAIKOPERA) is a risky synthesis, a multidisciplinary meditation, which expands and connects diverse cultural perspectives and Asian Canadian histories. Production/direction: Don Chow 
Don Chow curates a collaboration with Denise Sherwood (Japanese-British) and Adrian Sherwood (indie record producer and father of emerging singer-songwriter Denise) and two Vancouver taiko groups

I've known Rolo since the early-mid eighties and you should trust his musical judgement too

 
I never went to Glastonbury but I did see Fela in 1984. From memory I think it was at The Venue in Victoria that he played at and then after the gig we were either told about the Hampstead gig or maybe it was a leaflet. (Vivian Goldman wrote about it for the NME and if anyone feels like liberating that from RBP for me well I would be so grateful) and yeah it was a strange and disorientating night to say the least. I seem to remember Professor Hindu getting his throat cut too. Is that a real memory but didn't that happen at The Venue before...

Sometime in the morning I will be listening to this mix...
