Review:
The origins of this music project are found firmly rooted in the soil of our African continent, with its richly diverse peoples and ancient history. The concept was given life by the coming together of two of South Africa's most adventurous yet sensitive composers and musicians: McCoy Mrubata (alto and tenor saxophones, saxello and flute) and Greg Hadjiyorki Georgiades (who plays nylon guitar, oud, bouzouki and fretless resonator guitar). It was resolved in the spring of 2004 - over a tasty cup of Mac's home-brewed coffee - that they would start writing material that was, by nature, acoustic and rhythmically powerful enough to support melodies and styles from across Africa. — CalabashMusic.com |
