Description
World beat fusion band Diaspora is looking for musicians with a passion for world beat music for jamming and eventual public performance.
World beat is a fusion of many styles that musicians have been developing in musically interconnected cultures of the Afro-Latin-Asian world. This music is danceable, and seems to share a common spirit and groove.
This music is not from any particular region or culture. It is a fusion of traditional and popular musical from Latin America/Caribbean, Africa, and southern Asia/Middle East. The music is fun, rhythmic, irresistibly danceable, infectious, contagious, but also sophisticated enough to be interesting to listen to.
The core group will be performers that meet regularly and reliably in order to develop a repertoire. Needed for core group:
* drummer
* percussionist
* guitarist
* vocalist(s)
* keyboardist
I play bass.
Assembling bands is not new for me, as I co-founded San Diego Taiko and formed the earlier incarnation of Diaspora. The goal of Diaspora is to perform in front of a dancing audience, which is one of the most euphoric experiences a musician can have.
