as i am leaving the kasbah in some guinean town i enter the marketsquare where a group of people is playing traditional music with an electronic feel while the market is filled wih colours, sound and beautyfull people.
great!

This may be strange, but it reminds me a bit of Paul Simon’s Graceland, which however commercial, was a well made record. I love the joyful ringing at the top of the piece (and strangely that reminds a bit of Baba O’Reilly). There are just a few places where I think the bass note clunks/clashes a bit, but overall this is joyous and really cool.

LOL…You have me smiling over here duckett.
Nice work, When are you coming over here to work on some music together?
I’m off Mon Tues & WEDs the 26 27 & 28
Call a brother !!!!

Great take on this just would have liked the arrangement to have sat back a bit to give the vox more of a chance.

Very lively joyous sounds and worth the “experiment”

The electronic and percussion arrangements are perfectly attuned to the vocal. Great job!

I love that groove at beginning. This totally reminds me of something but I can’t figure out what. Now it’s bugging me…. ; )

How did you make that sound? The high synthy thing.

Are these two mixes the start of an African phase for you? - if so, I’m hoping for more!

This is great Duckett, I’m a sucker for that joyful ringing Kaer mentioned so this made me grin from the start.
If you havnt already I think you should go buy yourself that fretless bass now. Well done.

This mix would make even the grinch smile. Lots of happy sounds combine to create a unique arrangement. I think someone else mentioned Graceland, and I definitely hear a Ladysmith Black Mambazo vibe going on.
