nitin's last album 'beyond skin' has to be one of my all-time
favourite albums, and i have to say his new album is as good, if
not better! written and recorded between november 2000 and march
2001 across england, usa, spain, africa, india, australia, south
africa, france, and featuring more than 200 musicians, this is his
most ambitious album yet.
'i started in the studio with the bones of the album, then went
round the world to find it's soul' - nitin sawhney
with prophesy, nitin confirms his place at the heart of modern
british music. in part, it's a matter of musical ambition, adding
fresh flavours and new collaborations to what has gone before. there
are contributions from algerian rai star cheb mami and anglo-yemeni
singer natacha atlas; from master percussionists trilok gurtu and
steve shehan; from flamenco wizard jose miguel carmona son of
legendary pepe habichuela; from the haunting choral textures of the
rishile primary school choir recorded at their school classroom in
soweto to the london community gospel choir; from string players as
far afield as the english chamber orchestra to orquestra sinfonica
brasileira to an especially convened string orchestra of over 90
players in madras conducted by chandru shekar; from terry callier's
impassioned story-telling to the out and out rap of pinky tuscadero
to the voice of jeff jacobs, a chicago cabbie expounding his views
on being a lo-tech man in a high-tech world. this come in addition
to nitin's established partnerships with nina rocha miranda (smoke
city), vocalist and tabla exponent extraordinaire jayanta bose, and
singers eska mtungwazi (frequent vocalist on ig culture productions)
and tina grace, bass player eric appapoulay (again has worked with
ig culture) drummer euston liburd and tabla player aref durvesh, all
of whom are regular members of nitin's touring band. if you ever get
the chance of catching him live, please do, you won't regret it!
one of the albums of the year. enjoy.
