breathtaking contemporary spiritual jazz from south africa ... when tumi mogorosi composed this suite for jazz musicians and opera vocalists he had never heard the previous successful attempts by donald byrd, max roach or mary lou williams to combine these seemingly unfriendly aesthetics. tumi, born in 1987 and already an accomplished drummer on the joburg scene, was at the time studying music at the tshwane university of pretoria where he became close friends with opera singers working on the same campus. so unlike some of his us peers tumis beliefs are not religious.

atemberaubender zeitgenoessischer spiritual jazz aus suedafrika: als tumi mogorosi diese suite fŸr jazzmusiker und opernsaenger(-innen) komponierte, hatte er noch nie von den bisherigen erfolgreichen versuchen von donald byrd, max roach oder mary lou williams gehoert, diese scheinbar unvereinbaren elemente zu kombinieren. tumi, im jahr 1987 geboren und bereits ein versierter schlagzeuger in der jo burg musikszene, absolvierte zu der zeit sein musikstudium an der tshwane university of pretoria, wo er enge freundschaften mit opernsaenger auf dem selben campus hatte. im gegensatz zu einigen seiner us-kollegen sind tumis ueberzeugungen nicht religioes.die cd erscheint mit einem 4-seitigen booklet plus bonus tracks, die lp kommt im 60s uk laminat cover style

der zwischenzeitlich in den usa beheimatete mc blitz the ambassador, mit wurzeln in ghana, meldet sich mit seinem neuesten album featuring akua naru, kamau, m-anifest, somi und patrice zurück.

blitz the ambassador more organic rap meets west african sounds from ghana. the visionary sound of blitz the ambassador has been years in the making, with each album crafted to reflect a sonic and visual narrative unique to blitz s personal experience. his fourth studio album diasporadical exemplifies this trajectory. blitz spent a great deal of time traveling between accra, salvador bahia and brooklyn experiencing the similarities between the african diaspora. the album title diasporadical was born out of this experience blitz explains. the radical notion that no matter how fragmented the african diaspora is, the influence of rhythm and spirituality remains largely the same.
