Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem - American Roots Music
January 25, 4:00pm - 6:00pmMānoa Campus, Orvis Auditorium
One of 芒鈧揂merica芒鈧劉s most inventive string bands芒鈧 (The Boston Herald), Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem mix traditional, original, and contemporary sounds on fiddle, guitar, bass and recycled percussion 芒鈧 and top that with powerful leads and joyous harmonies from four skilled singers. They generously share a 14-year alchemy of life experience, band chemistry and musical evolution in performances that plumb the human condition with wit, courage and heart.
Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem draw from the deep well of American roots music and have an adventurous way of mixing things up. A 200-year-old Georgia Sea Island song gets a New Orleans groove; an Irish fiddle tune, new lyrics and a Peruvian cajon; Bruce Springsteen, high-octane, bluegrass-style harmonies. The band芒鈧劉s original songs range from folk to swing to pop, and are peopled with characters any audience can relate to 芒鈧 a young man seeking his spiritual path, an elderly rose gardener in New York City, a mother finding her way through breast cancer, a devoted wife contemplating her husband芒鈧劉s vision of a home in the wilderness.
With influences from Doc Watson to Django Reinhardt, from traditional Ghanaian drumming to the funky Meters, and from old-time fiddling to Bob Dylan, daisy mayhem celebrates America's rich musical past and brings it into the present. They pick up what's lying around 芒鈧 tin cans, old songs, human stories 芒鈧 and create something new and moving.
