Description:

SANIBONA is 'hello' in the Zulu language of Southern Africa. This CD brings to the world stage the first African techno-folk music. This is a genre of music that combines authentic traditional African folksongs and dance rhythms using both traditional and modern instrumentation with enhanced electronic processing (EEP). Dr. David Akombo together with his MTI Arts International band members Eric Doebel and Steven Adamski have brought together the magical rhythms and melodies of African music using song, bamboo flutes, African xylophones, shakers, and the European clarinet, as well as a keyboard synthesizer. The SANIBONA CD celebrates Africa’s great diversity unified by a neo-traditional folklore.
