The Singing Wells podcast #1
Written by oliviawallwork
This is the story of the birth of The Singing Wells, narrated by Jimmy and Andy. A great listen as it takes you through the first trip of Singing Wells, the traditional African music recorded and the incredible Influences fusions.
Head over to The Singing Wells post to see a track listing of the songs played throughout the podcast and look out for podcast #2.
A particular highlight is the Mzee Nyerere Wa Konde, Bado and Winyo – Influences. “Suddenly you had this wonderful westernised African voice, followed by his father in Swahili warning the girl, and then Tabu asked Winyo to sing on top of that and essentially describe the dilemma that was going on”, which makes for an amazing, enchanting listen.
