Sinkane music -- every note of it -- comes straight out of a
generosity of spirit. Never has that spirit been on more vivid display
than on the uplifting new album Life & Livin' It. This is feel-good
music for trying times, celebrating what makes life good without
ignoring what makes it hard.By the time they finished touring for
their acclaimed Mean Love album in late 2015, Ahmed Gallab and the
band had spread the gospel of Sinkane to the world, playing 166 shows
in 20 countries. During the same period, he had also led The Atomic
Bomb Band -- the highly celebrated 15-piece outfit that played the
music of elusive Nigerian electro-funk maestro William Onyeabor. The
band included David Byrne, Damon Albarn, members of Hot Chip, LCD
Soundsystem, The Rapture, Jamie Lidell and legendary jazz musicians
Pharoah Sanders and Charles Lloyd, and they played all over the
planet, including making their TV debut on The Tonight Show with Jimmy
Fallon. "Those 14 months really changed my life," Ahmed says. "Not
only did I learn how to put on a bigger show, but all that touring
brought Sinkane closer as a band."As Ahmed got into the depths of
writing for Life & Livin' It, he had a clear goal; to conjure the ups
and downs of a universal experience, and have fun while doing it. "I
would listen to my favorite records, like Funkadelic's America Eats
Its Young, and realize how great they made me feel. That carefree,
light and fun feeling I was getting while writing this record is what
I want everyone to feel when they listen to it."Ahmed soon brought the
band in to help with the material, testing the songs at a four-show
residency of sold-out shows at Union Pool in Brooklyn where the
audience's reception fed the creative process. They toured throughout
the summer before setting up shop at Sonic Ranch Studios in El Paso,
Texas. Once again produced by Ahmed with lyrics and help from longtime
collaborator Greg Lofaro, the album draws from the best elements of
Sinkane's previous records: the slinky funk and soul grooves are
there, so are the sparkling melodies with roots in sub-Saharan Africa.
With basic tracking played together live, the fun and immediacy of
Sinkane's live show is a central feeling of the recordings. The four
members of Sinkane - bassist Ish Montgomery, drummer Jason Trammell,
guitarist Jonny Lam and Ahmed - sang and play additional parts on
every song, with Trammell contributing lyrics to "Theme from Life &
Livin' It," and Lam helping with arrangements. In making a record that
feels the way this one does, Ahmed's primary intention was to make
music that is joyous, but also socially conscious when you scratch
beneath the surface. The songs "U'Huh" and "Theme from Life & Livin'
It" conjure up the simple pleasures of hanging with friends, but there
are heavier vibes in there. Ahmed says, "I remember listening to Bob
Marley as a child. Dancing with my family in our living room and then
my mother telling me what issues he was addressing, and that it was
important to remember those things while listening. It made the music
even better because it became about something more.""Favorite Song"
came about from Ahmed's experiences DJ'ing in New York. "As a DJ
you're always paying attention to the collective energy in the club.
When you play a song that everyone knows, everybody is connected, lost
in the music." That song, along with "U'Huh", has lyrics sung in
Arabic, Ahmed's native tongue. "Kulu shi tamaam!" means "everything is
great!" while "ya zol ya zain!" is a Sudanese term of endearment
meaning "my beautiful friend." "It's really easy to understand the
tone of those words," Ahmed adds. "They just feel good, you don't have
to know what they mean. It's kind of like listening to Caetano Veloso
or Jorge Ben -- you don't have to know Portuguese to feel what they're
saying." True to its name, Life & Livin' It is an album about all
kinds of experiences. When Ahmed Gallab sings, he sounds unafraid yet
vulnerable. But while he once sang of feeling like he was on the
planet Mars, Ahmed is now firmly grounded on Earth. He's no longer
searching for his home -- he has created a home for himself. There's a
party there, and Life & Livin' It is playing on the stereo. You are
invited.
