Guitar and percussion. That's it. That's what you get. But what a world of music you enter when two old friends ? one from Denmark, the other from The Gambia and each a master of their own craft ? sit down and decide, finally, to make a record. 'Around The Crocodile Pond' features the two friends grooving and improvising on the ten remarkable songs composed by Preben Carlsen. The music flows with polyrhythmic elegance as the tunes weave organically in raw circular road movie-style Afro Blues. Iconographic reminiscent of wild wide landscapes, from the deep mangrove forests in the Southern states of USA to the flat red mountains on the Mali desert and with a dramatic blue sky above it all.
