Snarky Puppy / Culcha Vulcha

Album tjedna je uvjetno rečeno ˝neživa svirka˝ slobodne interpretacije širokog žanrovskog spektra sa dominacijom i naglaskom na groove! Culcha Vulcha disciplinira kreativni nemir u smislenu glazbenu avanturu.

Snarky Puppy je naziv glazbenog projekta iza kojeg se, između ostalih, krije basist, kompozitor i producent Michael League, i to u smislu vođe koji zapravo to nije jer su svi sudionici u zadanom trenutku glazbeno kompetentni i jednaci. Zapravo je to fluidni kolektiv mnoštva glazbenika koji se bazira na edukativnom i in situ stvaralaštvu koji isključivo funkcionira po principu živih nastupa i interakcije s publikom.

Culcha Vulcha je njihova 11. ploča, u cjelosti snimljena u studijskim uvjetima, a što je važno za napomenuti jer su proteklih 8. diskografskih godina izdavali isključivo ˝žive˝ materijale. U slučaju Snarky Puppy tanka je crta između pojma uživo i studijski za dokaz čega je Culcha Vulcha pravi primjer. ˝Iznimka potvrđuje pravilo!?˝, a u ovom slučaju pravila nema!
