“Rising Tide” published again!
After almost 10 years we finally publish under our own label the multi-award winning album RISING TIDE, which was first time published in 2012 . Robin Denselow wrote about it in the Guardian - Thu 23 Aug 2012:
“An excellent new album by a young band from Zimbabwe, a country that was a powerhouse of African music back in the 1980s. Mokoomba are from Victoria Falls in the north, and they blend local Tonga and global influences in their varied, self-written songs. Rising Tide starts out with the furious Njoka, including funk and rap elements, and is helped along by excellent guitar work from Trustworth Samende. Lead singer Mathias Muzaza demonstrates his powerful vocals in soulful songs that echo the country’s greatest musical hero, Oliver Mtukudzi, before switching direction to bring in West African and Latin sounds, plus a dash of reggae. The impressive production is by Manou Gallo from the Ivory Coast, who once played bass for Zap Mama; here she adds keyboards and fills out the sound by using 13 guest musicians, playing everything from brass to kora and cello.”
