Ep #173 - Sweet Plantain - World Fusion String Quartet
Ep #173 - with Sweet Plantain, World Fusion String Quartet
Sweet Plantain is a dynamic latin-influenced string quartet from NYC but they are quite unusual in that their violinists double on trombone and mandolin. They also bring a wide range of World Music into their performances and original compositions. In this episode we get to hear their arrangement of the classic Brazilian samba “Chega De Saudade” and also some original compositions that feature rap, Swedish fusion and the Cole Porter song "Love For Sale." They have traveled around the world but mostly perform in NYC where they enjoy bringing their music to their communities. Eddie Venegas is my guest who is the violinist/trombonist for the group.

Customer Reviews
World Class
Derrick is a true Artist and afficionado at the same time. His natural enthusiasm creates a great ambance on each show, getting each artist on point, in creative flow for a sparkling spontaeous session. Wonderful vision, well executed!! Bravo!
Director
I am so impressed by the World Fusion Show and the love and care that producer Derrick Jordan puts into his projects. I am fascinated to hear the way that the musicians he interviews evolved to harness their passions. The idea of using world fusion as the glue that connects each of the shows with each other to form a series makes a lot of sense. The premise of the series give us a more comprehensive understanding of how world fusion influences the cutting edge of numerous musical styles. Bravo!
World Fusion Inspiration
Really glad I found this! The conversations with artists are lively and very informative and it's cool to be exposed to extraordinary world music. The live in studio performances are wonderful.
