This is truly a collection of African gems. It's an
emotionally, rewarding, innovative and technically impressive release. The
album presents a diverse range of vocal gems, from international hits to
traditional hymns, spiced with exciting new compositions. It's unexpected and
unique, and brings together pop, rock, classical, gospel, choral and African
music in a collection that far exceeds a mere compilation of covers. A rock or
pop song becomes memorable when it tells a story which is passionate and to the
point. This makes reinterpreting, rather than just covering well-loved
classics, a high stakes gamble. In this collection boldness pays off
handsomely, and African Chants brings together many powerful expressions of
music to create a unique eclectic sound, which manages to be both surprising
yet comfortably familiar.
