Product details
Yakiya is the debut release by Melbourne band Tripataka.
This album presents a blend of original compositions that capture
the endless inspiration the band members derive from the music of
North and South India, Bali, Brazil, Cuba and many other styles
of music from around the world.
Trained in these intercultural forms of music as well as jazz and
European classical music, the breadth of the band members'
combined experience and instrumental resources far surpass that
of a typical contemporary jazz trio.
Tripataka was formed in 2013 and mostly performs music written by
the band members. The title track, Yakiya, was composed by
Sherriff and inspired by the irrepressible joy of Yakiya, a
friend of Adrian's family. Yakiya was a Papuan tribal elder and
church leader from the valley of Makki where Adrian was
raised.
"There may be only three musicians on this recording, but their
combined sound is as powerful and expressive as a great big band.
Polymetric drum grooves full of deep funky soul; electric bass
lines that float like butterflies and sting like bees; trombone
melodies singing, soaring, and diving - Tripataka's ensemble
sound is astringent, tough, and uncompromising - yet the loose
authenticity of folk tradition saturates even the most complex
pieces. Composition and improvisation interweave seamlessly, and
the total effect is exhilarating - watch the movie inside your
head while you listen, because the cinematography is terrific."
Warren Senders, Boston, USA
