Universal Beings
by Makaya McCraven
supported by 18 fans who also own “Abadala Baholo (Single Release)”
I was brought here after listening to a live performance of Makaya's on you tube. I instantly loved the song Holy Lands so much that I had to see if the album version was the same rendition as the live one. Then I listened to the whole album! Universal Beings is a just a groove... It's a mix of traditional and something new, very nice.

UMDALI
by Malcolm Jiyane Tree-O
supported by 17 fans who also own “Abadala Baholo (Single Release)”
One of my favourite albums in the last couple of years. Malcolm Jiyane is an unselfish bandleader who gives all the musicians space to shine, so it presents very much as a band album. Very accessible, but has deceptive depth and gets better with every listen.
