Our Take
Our Take
ONDIGUI AND BOTA TABANSI INTERNATIONAL’s latest offering, Ewondo Rythmin, can only be described as a delightful fusion of traditional Cameroonian rhythms with a British English twist. From the moment you press play, you are transported to a world where the sounds of palm wine guitars and mbalax rhythms collide with the charming cadence of the English language.
The album opens with the infectious groove of "Mbembele Dance", a track that demands your hips to sway and your feet to tap along. Ondigui and Bota’s energy is palpable, as they effortlessly blend their cultural heritage with a modern flair that is impossible to resist.
Tracks like "Ella's Lament" and "Bota's Blues" showcase the duo’s mastery of storytelling through music, with poignant lyrics that speak to the soul. Their ability to weave a narrative through each song is truly remarkable and sets them apart from their contemporaries.
However, it is the closing track, "London Calling (Ewondo Edition)", that truly steals the show. The seamless integration of Cameroonian chants with the iconic riff of The Clash’s hit song is nothing short of genius. Ondigui and Bota have managed to pay homage to their roots while simultaneously nodding to British music history.
In conclusion, Ewondo Rythmin is a triumph of cross-cultural collaboration that will have you grooving from start to finish. Ondigui and Bota have proven once again that music knows no borders, and their infectious energy is sure to win over fans from all corners of the globe. Cheers to that!
