Search - Syncrosystem :: no immunity

Just imagine a mythical jam session where Ry Cooder and David Grisman meet Carlos Santana and James Brown, and you are beginning to hear the possibilities of the sound of Syncrosystem. Taking their name from the Album "Synchrosystem" by the legendary African performer King Sunny Ade, Syncrosystem blends the rhythms and sounds of new and old from all over the globe with unique instrumentation, resulting in a truly original international sound. By fusing rhythms and melodies from Brazil, Cuba, Martinique, and from African and Afro-beat traditions, with modern funk, hip hop, and drum'n'bass fresh from the streets of San Francisco, maestros Peter Gross on guitars, Christian Runge on lap steel and Mandolin, Julian Gerstin on percussion, the Reverend Chris Horgan on drums, and bass ninja Yoshi Sako on electric bass, have served up a spicy dish of international musical gumbo, that has shown itself to be digestible by people of many different ages and cultures. The members have jammed or shared stages with: Micahel Franti and Spearhead, Smashmouth, Hamsa Lila, Counting Crows, Om Trio, Kotoja, Zulu Spear, Avi Bortnick, Jesse Malloy, Chicken Hersh, Ulali, and David Grisman.
