BOOKA AND THE FLAMING GECKOS

Baghdad Texas

2009-09-17

Texan, producer/musician, Booka Michel has produced and performed music all over the world in just about every genre. Listed here as producer, composer, and drummer/percussionist, Booka used three musical genres for inspiration: Latin, Americana, and Middle Eastern, based on the three main characters in Baghdad Texas, the movie that this is the soundtrack to. Clocking in at under thirty minutes, with most of the songs less than three, this is mostly instrumentals and is of the Americana genre with Latin and Middle Eastern influences. I quite liked this and my only complaint would be that there be more than a half hour of music! Rebecca Ruth
