Birigwa
CD (Item 467613) Seeds/Porter, 1972 -- Condition: New Copy
A strangely beautiful set of African-tinged folksy soul -- with a sound that's pretty darn tough to describe! Birigwa plays guitar and sings -- and he's got a breezy style that sounds a bit like Letta Mbulu on some tracks -- but a bit more folksy on others, given the largely acoustic setting of the album. The rest of the instrumentation here includes a range of percussionists, plus flute, tenor, piano, flugelhorn, and bass -- the last of which is played by Phil Morrison of Stark Reality. Many of the tracks are short, personal, and poetic -- but the album also features one longer cut titled -- "Yelewa" -- which has a jamming Afro jazz sort of groove! Other tracks include "Lule Lule", "Okusosla", "Njabala", and "Obugumba". © 1996-2010, Dusty Groove America, Inc. | |||||
