Mahaba - Kurangarira

Mahaba which means love is a newly formed band by multi-instrumentalist Philadelphia Murefu. In their first collaboration with vocalist Beulah Quaynor their music connected with their African heritage from Zimbabwe and Ghana presenting rich African musical culture in a contemporary context. Written by Jason Vanherp, Kurangarira has unique, captivating and uplifting grooves that one cannot help
but make a move no matter how small.

The tune is a blend of vocals, contemporary instruments -synths, live acoustic drums and traditional instruments, Marimba, Hosho (Shaker) and Ngoma (Congas). Kurangarira means commemoration- a ceremony or celebration of a person or event. In Africa it is a song for post rainy season when people are celebrating their crops to flourish. In Australia it’s just about being grateful as we come out of the winter hibernation and celebrate life.

JAGA - Her Loving Eyes feat. B Grade

Jaga is a musical collaboration between Jayan Gopinathan and Guy Drory - two dedicated artists with very different musical and cultural backgrounds. The
name Jaga represents the first syllables of each of their names as a tribute to the combination of styles.

Jayan and Guy met at an international multicultural music project called Ethno Australia. They connected over mutual respect of musical styles, technical skills and interest in the spiritual dimensions of music. All of these features shine through in their work. They feel that through this collaboration they are able to challenge their own limitations and hence continually improve as artists and people.

Jaga’s first single, “Her Loving Eyes”, is based on a traditional Carnatic composition in praise of the Divine Mother. The vocals are set to Western instrumentals and feature a rap verse by MC B Grade of Vaguely Human.

The song Cumbia de la sal is a perfect example of Son Semilla’s style. Three Aussie Rocker’s discover a love for Latin music while a Colombian rooted in Latin music discovers a love for Rock.

It’s story takes us back to the origins of good and evil, and the all conquering power of music and dance.

This is the full interview with Juan from Son Semilla as part of the Music Masala Project.
