Info:

As Some Of You May Have Already Noticed, Each Release Of Mr Raoul Ks >peul< Series Features A Specicific African Instrument As Its Main Sound. This Time Its The Balafon - A Kind Of Sticcado, Which Uses Calabashes As Resonancebodies And Is Often Handcrafted By Its Player. Here, The Balafon Is Used As A Rhythmic And A Melodic Instrument. After A Long Intro, The Track Gathers Momentum And Takes Off For One Of Those Long Buildups. When The Tension Is Released, In Come The Vocals! Rising From A Sparse Chant To An Energetic Vocal That Empathically Pleads For Unity. Then You Get Your Beats Back And Off Goes Another African-european Joyride. For Those Of You Who Arent That Much Into Vocals, A Less Vocalized Mix Is Provided On The Flipside. Enjoy Another Mr Raoul K Special Treat
