Wa-Zimba – Mande Wazy (Tinder) Reviewed by Sadie O., 4/27/06 French/Malagasy trio, roots very much in Madagascar, but some modern/jazzy/worldbeat updates. Mostly very relaxed groove, very sweet and pretty, nice syncopation but not a really insistent beat. Nice use of Malagasy vocal harmonies and instrumentation. All in Malagasy (except a tiny bit of French). I love track 12! 9 and 10 are almost as good. Everything sounds nice, no crap tracks. 1. *slow build at start, flutes and percussion and jungle sounds. Midtempo, complex but not strong beat, lovely vocals. 2. **a bit upbeat but relaxed, good use of Malagasy instrumentation and harmonies. 3. **Solo flute at start, then lots of fun instruments – some almost bluegrassy. Midtempo, really sweet (in fact, the title translates to “Sweet Flute”) 4. *nice complex beat, chugs along with nice energy, cool vocals. 5. *slightly uptempo, rather wistful. 6. **Very complex percussion, atmospheric instrumentation, eerie and a bit wild sounding in places. 7. *Solo Malagasy harp at start, downtempo and relaxed, nice easy beat. 8. **A bit uptempo, nice groove, cool vocals – sweet song about friendship. 9. ***slightly downtempo loping beat, lovely but intense, song about being driven out of one’s village by war. 10. ***Starts with random street sounds, then like a march coming together, then midtempo loping beat, nice energy – “Call for Peace”. 11. *Starts with vocal harmonies, sweet midtempo bounce, but relaxed. 12. ***midtempo, really cool syncopation and instrumentation. Some chanting as well as harmonies. Some heavy metal guitar. This is a great sound! | ||
