HEALING SOUNDS FROM MOTHER AFRICA:
AN AFRICAN AMBIENT EXPERIENCE

"Life is light and light is life, and so colour is sound and sound colour. The soul itself is song." SUFI INAYAT KHAN


Pops Mohamed (aka “The Fucha-Rist”), South Africa’s celebrated ethnic African musician, is a firm traditionalist. He explores the fusion of his soulful music with modern influences and expertise.

Healing Sounds From Mother Africa: An African Ambient Experience is the latest album release from Pops Mohamed. This is a continuation of his constant musical and traditional explorations, on which he plays a large number of instruments, including unusual ones like the kora (a harp from West Africa), the mbira (a thumb piano from Zimbabwe), the didgeridoo (native to the Aboriginal people of Australia) and the birimbau (developed by the South American Indians and the Khoisan of the Kalahari Desert).

This new album contains a variety of moods and evocations. There are traditional Khoisan-influenced tracks, including a tribute to Saartjie Baartman in the song I Am Free. It celebrates her status as the “Hottentot Venus", as her sexuality was linked with the goddess of love. There is the San devotional track Love Is the Answer, music written for an Ethiopian schools programme, and music from the “Horses Whisperer” documentary.

If it’s true deep traditional African music you’re after, this is as authentic as it gets. With real ancient African instruments played by a true African master, you’ll be hard-pressed to find an album that so beautifully evokes the spirit of the ancient Khoisan people – delivered with real love and understanding by one of the foremost South African musicians of his generation.

Take a listen to some of the samples we’ve provided, and treat yourself to a CD that you’ll treasure forever.
