There has yet to be an instrument that surpasses the absolute wonderment of the human voice. And there may be no group that explores its stylistic boundaries more creatively than that of Zap Mama. Founded by Marie Daulne, who was born of a Belgian father and Zairian mother and spent her childhood in both countries, Zap Mama is an amazing amalgamation of French, Swahili and Wolof, harmonizing with Pygmy bushpeople, and freestyling in Brooklyn slang. I want to see the voice go as far as possible. But the voice talks to the head.
Instruments talk directly to the body.
When there is a drum, it's the body that understands. I wanted to mix the two. This one's perfect for chillin' out and floating off into a contemplative trance. If you're looking for an interesting twist on urban sounds, look no further. All Rights Reserved.
