Cool tunes out of this world
By Gerald M. Gay
We are at that time of year again when Tucson begins to swelter.
Right now, it's a challenge getting ice cream home from the store still frozen and even harder to hold your steering wheel without oven mitts. By this time next month, the city should be well into meltdown mode with no hope in sight until the fall.
As the summer temps continues to rise, cool music is a must.
Here are some world artist titles guaranteed to refresh:
Balkan Beat Box- Nu Med
Good for: Your next mix CD between Ozomatli and the Molehill Orkestrah.
Sporting the JDub tag, the same record label that boosted Hasidic dance-hall toaster Matisyahu to superstardom, Balkan Beat Box steps up its game with "Nu-Med" a funky, fun, remixed journey through Southeastern Europe. Beat Box doesn't crack you over the head with traditional sounds, but its barrage of brass and clarinet lets you know this is a gypsy fusion affair. Add some catchy beats, irresistible hooks and reggae-flavored vocals and you have an album worthy of prime real estate on your iPod.
