Music in the “Ladysmith” tradition from this Bulawayo, Zimbabwe trio. All a capella with wonderfully tight vocal harmonies, though a few tracks use shakers, drums, and/or whistles. It’s wonderful, life-affirming music that deserves to be played. You can’t go wrong, but I especially liked the following: 1. Lightly joyful mid-tempo anthem to Africa. 4. Sweet and gentle…some lyrics in English.. 5. Great vocal clicks, drum interlude, bright. 6. Warm, romantic, lyrical. 8. Talking, whistles, clicks, a busy, intricately harmonized sound. 9. Relaxed & warm song in praise of mothers. 10. Powerful gospel track w/a sense of melancholy. 11. Interesting round song w/a catchy mid-tempo melody. 12. Wonderful deep harmonies, clicks, bright lead vocals. Great. 13. More uptempo w/drums & a happy feeling. 15. Mid-tempo ode to Bulawayo. 16. Clicks, call-response vocals, a nice, relaxed thing. 3/2004 | ||
