Pops Mohammed: Healing Sounds of Mother Africa CD
|
|
Item Number: ACM-43
|
South African musician Pops Mohammed is well-schooled in
both the traditional essence of African music and modern grooves, both
of which he skillfully melds on HEALING SOUNDS OF AFRICA. The music here
is well seeped in mellow jazz sounds (saxophone, trumpet), and light,
chilled rythms that give the music a relaxed, cool vibe. Of course, it's
the colors of Africa that certainly account for a large portion of the
album, with the sunny strumming of the kora and the twinkly tones of the
mbira lending their characteristic sounds to the mix. Further shaping
the album's core ambiance are the sounds of the didgeridoo, birimbau and
vocals, which range from ecstatic cries to humming to chant. It's a
fun, modern twist on classic African music that balances soul with
sophistication.
Award-winning South
African musician Pops Mohammed is a
pioneering traditionalist who fuses soulful music with modern
influences and sublime expertise. This new disc fuses futuristic
beats with indigenous sounds.
