Review:
"Straight off the street - in fact, the main highway running north from Livingston in Zambia's Southern Province - comes busy, vivid music, a sort of turbocharged skiffle, sometimes based on Zambia's best-known kalindula rhythms. It's infectious, urgent, with sweet harmony singing and lyrics which mix broad comedy with social comment, sometimes real tragedy." Rick Sanders -- FRoots "Although the ensembles recorded use mostly home-made instruments, there's a level of musical expertise here that makes the results sound completely professional. Particularly impressive are Green Mamba, a six-piece guitar group who play two kalindula-style songs and one Congolese rumba." Martin Sinnock -- Songlines — CalabashMusic.com |
