I'm reasonably sure that I didn't use the word fad when I filed this review, since that term doesn't accurately portray my feelings about artistic and cultural fusion, which can be a powerful and progressive force. But I can live with the rest of this non-specialist's view of a performance by The Nile Project: a dozen fine musicians who represent the 11 nations of Africa's Nile Basin, and a collective whose goals extend well past singing in perfect harmony.
For more background on the Project, its workshops, and its aspirations, check out the excellent preview that I tapped Siddhartha Mitter to write for the Globe, here.
