Once again at the forefront of the boundary-crossing genre of World Roots music. La Boum! is one of the originators of the genre before the term was coined and with this album they continue to cross the boundaries. This album has echoes of frontman Tom Salter's work with Malian legend Ali Farka Touré but continues to cross musical frontiers to include the Folk, Latin and Jazz influences of Scottish band members - Ben Ivitsky of the Eliza Carthy Band, Mary Macmaster of the Poozies on vocals and harp, Heather Macleod with her jazz inflections on vocals and Dougie Hudson of Salsa Celtica on percussion. The horn and vocal sections give the band a big sound live and this big sound has been boosted on Marionette by guests from the Indian band Mrigiya - Sharat Chandra Srivastava on violin and Athar Hussein on tablas, by the precise percussion of the Peatbog Faeries Iain Copeland and the beautiful voice of Eliza Carthy. 1.
