Release Notes:
Singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Yeshe
is a world nomad and has lived in over 20 countries
embedding himself in their music and culture. His
family of friends span the globe and he feels a
profound personal allegiance to all of these people
and their cultures. His first solo album is titled
World CitiZen.
"Threading the colours of mbira and the Shona
spirit through a texture that recalls flamenco and
Spanish echoes, didgeridoo, conga and even blues
guitar, Yeshe brings together diverse cultures and
music with striking compatibility and resonance.
While many songs settle back into the comforting
beat of the Zimbabwean vibe (heard so commonly in
marimba bands these days), he never ceases to reach
forward with innovation, even arranging a Bob
Marley hit. In short, this is an exceptional world
fusion album that never compromises the ingredients
with the blending element. A true gem in our world
music category"
