Product Description
Product Description
Trumpeter/composer/bandleader Frank London brings together over 40 musicians from eight countries on four continents for the ultimate Jewish conspiracy. This original Piranha release is a musical travelogue, from frenzied Hasidic pop to sensual Brazilian-Mexican-Yiddish songs of love and angst. Contributors include singers Michael Alpert (Brave Old World), Lorin Sklamberg (Klezmatics), Sarah Mina Gordon (rising star Yiddish singer-songwriter), Marianne Sadowska (Ukrainian traditional & avant-garde singer/ theatre artist) and the voices of Kol Isha, New York's hottest X-O women's singing group, as well as 80-year-old Ukrainian Jewish clarinettist German Goldenshtayn. Also featuring Forró master Rob Curto and percussion band Maracatú New York, the release commemorates the 350th Anniversary of the original Jewish migration from Recife. Shake your tuchiss, blow your mind. Tracks: In Your Garden Twenty Fecund Fruit Trees (feat. Marjana Sadowska) / Oh Agony, You Are So Sweet Like Sugar I Must To Eat You Up (feat. Lorin Sklamberg) / Another Glass Of Wine To Give Succor To My Ailing Existence (feat. Curtis Hasselbring) / Midnight Banda Judía (feat. Michael Alpert) / In the Marketplace All Is Subterfuge (Podolye, Podolye) / Who Knows One? (feat. Sarah Mina Gordon) / Pantagruel, Shiker Hindert Prozent (feat. Maracatú New York ) / A Time of Desire – Curha Mix (feat. Kol Isha) / Our Ancestors Forty Thousand Years Wide (feat. German Goldenshtayn) / Out Of What? (feat. Aaron Alexander, Scott Kettner & Maracatú New York) / Mi Yamalay (feat. Kol Isha & Danny Blume) / Borracho # 1 The Cobbles In The Street Moan For You.
From the Artist
We have always tried to do songs that are politically and texturally spiritual, and some from the Jewish tradition. For me the Jewish spiritual message is not one only of reaching out to God, but is implicitly tied to making the world a better place.

This an absolute gem of an album. There are a myriad of moments when the different instruments all swoop together to throw your senses up in the air. There is a wonderful diversity of moods. and some of the most bizarre liner notes to cap it all off. This a great cd to give you a life enhancing sense of elation.. I wouldn't mind but I think it is only semi seriously meant half the time. I've had it on my shelves for a long time and it's been a joy to get it back out and give myself a blast from it.. It's only when I've checked on Amazon for some of Frank's other stuff that I've realised that no-one has commented on it .. so here goes

An exciting music CD that brings together over forty musicians from eight countries on four continents
8 Feb 2006
By Midwest Book Review

Format:Audio CD
Carnival Conspiracy: In The Marketplace All Is Subterfuge is an exciting music CD that brings together over forty musicians from eight countries on four continents for a grand musical travelogue of Brazilian-Mexican-Yiddish songs of love, angst, and just plain fun and dance. Featuring seven songs in Yiddish, Spanish, Ukrainian, and Ashkenazic Hebrew as well as five instrumental pieces, English text information, and a re-invention of "carnivalesque" music theme, Carnival Conspiracy is an album filled with modern Brass Band spirit as surely as ancient rhythms and traditions. A toe-tapping irresistible beat threads through this lively musical celebration. 59:28 minutes.

Buy this album only if you crave possession by dancing demons, if you want to see your guests shoot off the couch and knock over the furniture, if you want to lose yourself in an ecstatic trance while the neighbors below knock on their ceiling with a broom handle, if you want to imagine begging Frank London to come over with his whole crew, whatever the cost. Go for it!
