Peeni Waali All Stars - Shab Tab
SKU
AGR 017
Those of you with long memories and/or large Wayside record collections will remember Victor de Bros, who started his career with Debile Menthol and later released a couple of great, eccentric dub and reggae influenced albums under the moniker Peeni Waali (no, I don't know why or what it means). After a long silence, he's back under the Peeni Waali name, although the music here is somewhat different from what he's previously released. This combines his reggae influences with middle eastern influences. This doesn't sound like - but is comparable to -a Bill Laswell-directed world-music-jazz-dub-whatever mash of musics. I think this is similarly interesting in how it combines a lot of things in unusual and fun, musical ways.
