Rafiki Jazz - At Kriol Junction (2014)

We ve been waiting over three years through lots of memorable Rafiki Jazz gigs and a slowly evolving line-up since their debut album More Big Muzik from Over There, and we re delighted to announce the arrival at Kriol Junction of new work from this fine band s unmissable intimate & vibey grooves, dancing across world language, genre & culture frontiers captured here as a distinctive bunch of 9 new live & lovely pieces, plus a gripping music-doc video as an added extra. At Kriol Junction introduces fresh new music buzzing with attitude, energy and cross-cultural brilliance, featuring Rafiki Jazz regulars working with talented musicians, singers & rappers from the UK s growing Arts & Refugees networks and beyond. A truly collaborative initiative, mindful of heritage but pushing at the boundaries of live contemporary world music and its messages for today, Kriol Junction is the meeting place for exciting new multi-language tracks created in response to the Rafikian babble of international voices & instrumental mix-ups, and to inspirational texts from the seminal and very topical 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Each track here is conceived, arranged, rehearsed and recorded live in an intensive one-day studio session, capturing the vibrancy of the moment, with all featured players and vocalists on each track taking collective song writing & music credits.
