Author: Afro Celts

Details: Product description 4th album & a new name for the Sound System Amazon.ca In three albums, the pioneers of Afro Celt Sound System have shaken the world sound system to the rhythm of African incantations mixed with Irish folklore and dance groove. Abandoning the much plowed ground of world music/electro fusion, the collective got rid of its programmed loops and its ethnic samples, and renamed Afro Celts locked itself in its own studio in Islington (formerly a land of Pink Floyd experimentation). Supported by Martin N'Faly Kouyate, the Jimi Hendrix of the kora and the eminent Jah Wobble on bass, the three producer-musicians of Afro-Celts have placed their trust in musicians rather than machines. These ex-ambient makers turned songwriters now favor organic sounds with harp, percussion, tabla, bagpipes, mandolin and bouzouki, answered by the flamenco echo of Jesse Cook's guitar and the Brazilian tempo of singer Nina Miranda. New start, new album, Seed benefits from the generous contributions of rapper Ms Dynamite and rocker Mundy for an epic pop-U2-like conclusion to "Rise Above It". --Sabrina Silamo
