Wind Horse label founder Hamza, returns with another swashbuckling offering on his effusive and eclectic imprint, titled ‘Banjara Series - Mali Edition', curating a 10-track offering that consisting of summery, ethnic and organic house music with subtle elements of disco inspired by the beautiful country of Mali.
The rolling tides, sun-kissed Landdscapes and saharan vibe of the nation is echoed with aplomb as the compilation kicks off in frenetic fashion with ‘Nindjougou' and ‘Tolon' Featuring the Legendary musician Bassekou Kouyate and his son Madou Kouyate. Incredibly proficient in diverse styles of house music, Hamza displays his prowess for ethnic instruments with Soumba Soumba, Neon Afro and Ben Kadi. The first half of the package certainly gives listeners an aural smorgasbord of the sonic traits of the African nation, fused with contemporary electronic basslines, percussions and pulsating rhythms that are bound to send dancefloors into a tizzy.
Rolling into part dos, the veteran Indian artist ensures that the Malian palette of sounds does not meander in monotony. ‘Tribal Calling' is quintessentially African, complete with striking vocals and bouncy basslines. Not shying away from his adopted African roots, Hamza gives "Ben Kadi" a re-treatment in the same vein. Busier and stripped down with stabs of delicate chords make this remix a must have. ‘Timbuktu' follows suit, a tech-house corker with hypnotic vocals that's meant for those intense and intimate club moments.
"Mali Tech" can be considered to be the crescendo to this magnificent offering, tailor-made for the big room. Banjara Series (Mali Edition) concludes with the gorgeously constructed "Souleyman Sangara", complete with uplifting and unreal vocals.
