Our Take

As the sun sets over the jazz landscape, a new shining star emerges in the form of SHABAKA and their latest album "Perceive Its Beauty. Acknowledge Its Grace." This London-based ensemble delivers a sonic journey that is as eclectic as it is enchanting.

From the moment you press play, you are transported to a world where saxophone solos dance with funky basslines, and intricate percussion patterns weave a tapestry of sound that is nothing short of mesmerising. SHABAKA effortlessly blend elements of afrobeat, reggae, and traditional jazz to create a sonic palette that is as vibrant as a summer festival in Camden Town.

Tracks like "Sunset Serenade" and "Moonlit Groove" showcase the band's ability to create lush sonic landscapes that envelop the listener in a warm embrace. Each note is carefully crafted, each drumbeat placed with precision, creating a musical experience that is both captivating and exhilarating.

But don't be fooled by the smooth melodies and laid-back vibes - SHABAKA are no strangers to experimentation and pushing the boundaries of their sound. "Electric Dreams" and "Funky Fusion" showcase the band's willingness to take risks and explore new sonic territories, resulting in a truly unique listening experience.

In a world where jazz is often seen as background music for fancy dinner parties, SHABAKA reminds us that the genre is alive and kicking, ready to take on new challenges and push the boundaries of what is possible. "Perceive Its Beauty. Acknowledge Its Grace" is a testament to the band's talent and creativity, and a must-listen for any true music lover.
