My latest production-ready themes form part of a new compilation on Mama Dance (MDML045), called “Sports Power – Africa Scores”.
This is a high energy compilation of South African sporting themes, geared at the “Big Three” – Rugby, Cricket and Football. Comes with a free virtual braai, and coaxes heretofore unheard finesse from the bad boy of international wind instruments: our own vuvuzela.
But fear not, there’s a broad based, democratically authorised selection of multi-ethnic instrumentation and sonic treatments, from strings to talking drums, from the latest digital instruments to broken rake handles from my garage, and from searing mezzo-soprano cadenzas to the best international standard refereeing practices.
Tracks on this 2 minute-ish sampler are “Nkosi Vuvuzela”, “Home in the Zone”, “Stick Fight”, “Horn of Africa” and “Epic Clash”.
