Like nothing I've heard before. These women are phenominal. I've listened to this CD over a dozen times.
Adventures in Afropea, Vol. 1 Poster
Zap Mama are five women who are each of mixed African and European ancestry. They sing a cappella (with a little hand percussion sprinkled in) in a hybrid style that befits their background. The opening song is a spirited version of a Zairian Pygmy chant with a French recitation in the middle; the second song is an original new- wave, doo-wop number sung in English and percussive scat syllables. The rest of this album falls between those poles, absorbing sources from Cuba, Syria, Belgium, Rwanda, and Tanzania and remaking everything with a hip rock & roll modernism that gives the ancient vocal traditions an elliptical montage effect and a refreshing irreverence. --Geoffrey HimesInternational Music CDs
