Deeply spiritual musician, producer and
founding father of "Ancestral Soul",
African powerhouse Boddhi Satva returns
with a very special 4 track EP. Having
previously released on Louie Vega's
"Vega" label and Osunlade's Yoruba
Records as well as running his own
"Offering Recordings", we are delighted
to welcome him back to BBE. Full of
African and Latin influenced rhythms
and powerful vocal performances,
"Awakened Spirit" perfectly reflects
Satva's idiosyncratic, mystical
approach to music. Translating as "The
White Bird", opening track "Ngnari
Konon" is 'an ode to peace in Africa
and the rest of the world' says Satva.
It features Grammy Award winner & UN
ambassador Oumou Sangare, one of
Africa's greatest female voices.
Featuring the late vocalist Mangala
Camara, hypnotic second track
"Nankoumandjan" is named after an
ancient warrior from the Mandingue
Empire.
Potent third track "Benefit" features
legendary UK soul vocalist Omar, who
simply soars over Satva's blend of
African and Caribbean musical flavours.
Final track "Fighting Spirit" closes
out the EP with Brazilian percussion
backing up a dense and potent House
groove, dedicated to Boddhi's father
who sadly lost his battle with cancer
in early 2014.
"My music is always influenced by my
experiences and though some may be
painful, I try to use my creativity to
translate those emotions into something
positive. " Boddhi Satva 2016
If you like your dance music with side
order of emotion and spirituality,
you'll probably already be well aware
of Boddhi Satva. If not, let the music
take you: let your spirit awaken.
