The
Nigerian born and now Bradford, England based singer and multi instrumentalist
Moses Ekebuisi is a true champion of the music
of Mother Africa and the Diaspora. This seven track CD is a richly
diverse experience but all the numbers contain Moses’ positive
and uplifting messages - try the scintillating West African sound
of the opening ‘Surely You Will Make It’ or
the closing ‘Search You Will Get’, for good
examples. ‘Rhythm Of Yesterday’ and ‘The
Natural Rhythm’ bring the sound of the drum to the fore,
whilst ‘Ike Ejiri Mara’ is the only track here
not in English as Moses sings in Ibo. Reflecting the multicultural
experience of the African musician in Britain is the up tempo reggae
flavoured ‘Keep Music Going’ (I suspect a Majek
Fashek influence here), whilst ‘Divine Love’
is pure African roots reggae.
Moses works
tirelessly as a musical ambassador and certainly deserves our support
- but the quality of his music speaks for itself! - Norman Darwen
