Description
Another Las Bragas track recorded about 3 years ago (posted coz we did a great gig last weekend and the music's still buzzing around my head).
As is often the case with our stuff it's a melting pot of styles. The title is a sort of pun - there's a style of music from South Africa known as township jive and the bass line here has got that feel. The fiddle sounds a bit cajun in the first section and then breaks in to Lark in the Morning (an Irish Jig) so there's two time signatures going on simultaneously. All in all a rather rumbustious number.
KK
Personnel:
Electric fiddle - me
Guitar and keyboards - Eddie Parry
Bass - Gaz Phillips
Percussion - Jim Rutter
Drum kit - Darren Collett-Mills
Image: Ted Brewer Vivo electric violin - just like mine!

I'm envious of you being able to do stuff like this live Martyn. Closest music to this in my experience would be cajun, but I can hear a touch of South African music for sure.
Nice playing all round, and well recorded.
