{"product_id":"7-1","title":"7 - 7541","description":"Amazon.com\n\nZap Mama's third album moves a long way from the group's 1993 self-titled debut and 1994 Sabsylma follow-up, a cappella records in which five mostly European women tweaked Central African pygmy songs into sounds the rest of us could understand. This set--featuring a new lineup except for founder-leader Marie Daulne--insinuates into Mama's trademark choral yin the yang of male voices and drum \u0026amp; bass-anchored instrumentations (blues, jazz, reggae, Zairean soukous, rap, R\u0026amp;B, Zulu-based mbaqanga, jungle, P-funk, and minor-key wails from North Africa's nomadic Turaqs). Highlights include Fatima Wallett's trippy desert ululations in \"Jogging a Tombouctou,\" as well as Daulne's own newly minted muzzein's call to the faithful (alternating with her French rap) in \"Baba Hooker,\" a praise song both to the blues savant and to the African roots she and John Lee share. There are the requisite pygmy-influenced tracks, \"Illioi,\" featuring 4-year-old Kesia Daulne's baby French dissolving into melodic gurglings, and \"Eie Buma,\" based on those tropical forest sounds that Kesia's mom learned at her own mother's knee; the sounds were adapted as Zap Mama's starting point, and the group has taken them into deeper and deeper musical explorations. --Elena Oumano\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000002NCU\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: GGV.B000002NCU.LN\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Like New\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Zap Mama\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio CD\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Recycle4","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49566098325802,"sku":"GGV.B000002NCU.LN","price":10.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0773\/0819\/9210\/files\/skuimage_70e34884-747c-4325-a04b-e9c2776b8b0f.jpg?v=1731196322","url":"https:\/\/recycle4.com\/products\/7-1","provider":"Recycle4","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
