Spirit of Africa
So, as one of my friends has been nagging me for updates on this project (yes YOU Vorgan), I can tell you that Spirit of Africa is now complete. We wrapped production about a week ago. Even though my involvement was fairly limited - I came in on the back end - it was pretty challenging, as Lynn’s arrangements tend to be epic in scope.
This is probably one of her most involved and daring productions to date, and features a host of guest performances by some really top players, including Pops Mohamed, Dizu Plaaitjies and some wonderful vox samples performed by Nobuhle Ketelo. She’s one to watch, her voice is fantastic - very rich and soulful.
My involvement was basically some percussion programming (make drums biggerer) and some input on the mixes. Work on Sands of Time II should begin within the next few weeks.
Lynn has kindly given permission for me to post a clip from the album here; you can listen to more at her website: Desert Rose Music.
