‘Coming from backgrounds of both English choral music and jazz, I have always been obsessed by musical connections. I love to perform music of one culture with singers of another, to help performers to share an awareness of music in different contexts. I have had the good fortune to travel around the world every three years with the National Youth Choir of Great Britain. In South Africa I became fascinated by the rhythms and sounds of the music of the African continent. Mexico and Cuba opened up new vistas of musical connection for me, from elderly musicians performing the son jarocho in village tavernas in Veracruz to Afro- Caribbean jazz ensembles performing unbelievably complex music which arose out of that mix of cultures. The pieces of choral music found here are similarly hybrid, because in most cases they combine elements from more than one source …’ The internationally-renowned National Youth Choir is peerless in bringing to life Brewer's transcontinental choral imaginings. Headed up by the first commercial recording of Mike’s Hamba Lulu, the programme journeys us from the Icelandic tundra to the sultry jazz clubs of Latin America. Is your hi-fi ready to go? 'Praise for NYC on Delphian Records: ‘Sung by the glorious young voices of Mike Brewer's 140-strong National Youth Choir, coupled with a clear, excellently balanced recording from Delphian. Brewer fashions from these talented, young singers a was radiant wash of sound that is simply stunning ’ – Choir and Organ, January/February 2009
