Carl’s nomadic past results in highly original songs which have won numerous awards in the categories of folk, world and roots.
Ranging from polyrhythmic exuberance to intimate subtlety, the personal to the political, styles are interchanged and blended with great ease. Traces of Brazil, Africa, folk and blues are the spice in the stew of Carl’s songs.
Approach and sound vary widely with each release but always ‘with a complete lack of pretence and trendiness’
(R. Jasituowicz – Diaspora World Beat)
His pallet is as broad as life itself.
