In just two years, Tarig Abubakar
and the AfroNubians transformed the Toronto African music scene from a
basement proposition to an international one. On this album, the Nubians
are on a quest to capture the rainbow that best defines African sound today.
Up front, Tarig's deep voice belts out tunes in Kiswahili, English and
Arabic.
Meanwhile, the background is colourfully
peppered with West African percussions and frolicking guitar style from
East and Central Africa.
"This is wholesome music that truly
unites the different genres of African music like Taarab, Makossa, Mbaqanga,
Soukous, and highlife. "
