Review by Mydahlak Group

Bitter Funeral Beer by Bengt Berger Bitter Funeral Beer Band w Don Cherry is a unique and captivating album that showcases the talents of some of the most innovative musicians of their time. The album features a fusion of traditional African rhythms and jazz, creating a sound that is both familiar and new.

The album opens with "Bitter Funeral Beer," a haunting and mournful track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The use of traditional African instruments such as the balafon and the ngoni, combined with the jazz trumpet of Don Cherry, creates a sound that is both melancholic and uplifting.

Other standout tracks on the album include "Sidaoui," a fast-paced and energetic track that showcases the virtuosity of the musicians, and "Dance," a more upbeat and celebratory track that will have listeners tapping their feet.
