RAVEN DUCHESS: FOLKLORE album review
RAVEN DUCHESS is a veteran of the Zimbabwe festival and corporate event circuit. Her music is a blend of Afro-folk and jazz, her lyrics address issues that affect people around the world. FOLKLORE, her latest offering, continues the organic synthesis of previous release ETHNO VIBES with an all-star crew of supporting musicians, crisp production and memorable tunes. We discuss the album track by track, peeling back the layers of intertwined influence that make up FOLKLORE. Who are the percussionist and guitarists on RWENDO? Sergio Marciano Pereda (is) featured. He is the awesome guitarist and percussionist . Do you do all of your own backup vocals? I do all my backup vocals . As a mezzo- soprano I have a wide vocal range. ZVICHANAKA is buoyed by a piano vamp, keyboard brass sounds and traditional percussion figures. Who played this funky baseline? It has a catchy bassline by the talented South African bassist Gally Ngoveni. Is this a typical African drum pulse? What would you call it?...
