Bang on a Can Cantaloupe Music

Evan Ziporyn has dedicated his life to bringing the most exciting ideas from world music to the West. In his new CD ShadowBang, Ziporyn teams up with Balinese singer and shadow puppet master I Wayan Wija to create a unique cross-cultural music theater event. ShadowBang combines the magic of a Balinese folk narrative with the raucous American sound of the Bang on a Can All-Stars. Singing, shouting, hard-driving tunes, ringing electric guitar - the result is a riot of sound and virtuosity. "The intensity of Ziporyn's music rises and falls, but always carries listeners along; it's got a natural, unhurried quality that transcends idiom." - Harvey Pekar, PRI Public Arts.
