MONOSWEZI - VINYL VILLAGE [VINYL]

Popis - VILLAGE [VINYL]:
This Norwegian group is the project of saxophonist/clarinet player Hallvard Godal who lived for a year as a musician in Maputo, Mozambique. When he went back to Oslo he put together a group of jazz musicians, and brought in Zimbabwean mbira player/singer Hope Masike and vocalist/percussionist Calu Tsemane. So the music here is located between slightly esoteric European jazz of the ECM kind, stately minimalism, African folk (the 10 pieces are mostly rearranged traditional songs from Zimbabwe) and an intimate parlour concert. ~Graham Reid/Elsewhere.
