This masterly reading of his poetry is to the beat of Latino salsa/jazz and gospel music.
Sounds of the Streets is a collection of poems interpreted by Piri Thomas in his own unique dramatic style and blended with the creativity of fine musicians including Patato Valdez. In this recording, soaring on wings of musical truth, the spoken word has been transposed onto a new plane, beautiful "wordsongs," which contain the feelings, the heartbeat, and the wisdom of the barrio way.
A blend of poetry and Latin music. A perfect marriage between his 'flows' and the improvisational image conjured up in the mix.
