World / Ethnic Fusion; Worldbeat; Circus Music
Recorded: Mar 12, 1999, Cirque Du Soleil Theatre, Orlando, Florida
Cirque Du Soleil's La Nouba combines the lively, expressive feel of the circus with modern, new age-inspired rhythms and arrangements. Composer Benoit Jutras fuses angelic vocals and electronics with traditional instruments like trumpet, guitar, violin, and saxophone for a timeless and slightly surreal result.
