Reviews
of specific Hottentot albums are available from the discography
page
"Their
music can best be described as cross-cultural ... The under current
of their songs points to the political situations in the world
... The upper current is poetic and is testimony to a rich imagination
and a constantly renewed vitality."
Fons
Jacobs, Gazet van Antwerpen, Belgium
"Every
once in a while a CD comes along which really does blend global
cultures in an exciting, original way. Amongst the poly-rhythmic
exuberance there is some real sensitivity as well, and lots of
great playing and singing. Highly recommended."
Folk
West Radio, Perth
If
you've seen Carl and Parissa live you will have a good idea what
to expect: warmth, generosity, humour and fantastic musicianship.
Parissa's outstanding vocals alternate between a tone that would
cut glass, and breathy seduction, while Carl sings with a warmth,
honesty and a healthy dose of cheekiness.
State of the art in contemporary Australian
roots music.
James
Rigby - The Cornstalk Gazette, Sydney
"The
sheer variety of musical cultures from which the Hottentot Party
draw their influences makes for an exhilarating listen, but their
music is also unfashionably light and bright, the antithesis of
the angst-ridden world of contemporary rock and pop."
Michael
Smith, Drum Media, Sydney
