Duende Libre
The Dance She Spoke
Review by Gary Hill
This act is definitely not progressive rock. However, they play a form of fusion that is often heavily informed by world music. That is a "progressive" concept in itself, but even if it weren't, we usually include fusion under prog. There are some instrumentals on the set, but only one song has lyrics in English. The others are based on music from Mali and the Republic of Guinea and their lyrics are in their native languages. However you label this, it's an interesting ride.
