Monoswezi - The Village (180g Vinyl)

Monoswezi's 2013 debut album, now available as a 180g limited edition LP. 'The Village' is a collection of rearranged Zimbabwean traditional songs blended with a cool Nordic edge. Includes a FREE download card allowing you to download the full album.

With members hailing from Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Norway and Sweden the boundary-crossing band's sound is entirely unique. Articulated mbira rings out atop colourful woodwind and the gentle rhythm section.

(4 stars) A fusion with an airy and expressive feel that displays a remarkable balance between two different cultures...this is a fine recording and an interesting new variation on the thriving young jazz generation in Scandinavia. - Songlines
