Afro House pioneer and father of Ancestral Soul, Boddhi Satva presents his new album, ‘Manifestation’, on BBE Music offshoot Batakari.
With ‘Manifestation’ Boddhi Satva brings to a close a trilogy of long players. Following 2012’s ‘Invocation’ and 2016’s’ Transition", this new opus completes its first cycle of Ancestral Soul.
This most conceptual of Afro House's producers offers an ode to lovers of the genre with a project that is both easy-listening and club-ready, with more urban sounds (R’n’B, Soul, Trap, Amapiano) intertwined with the frantic rhythms of large African cities such as Bamako, Dakar or Nairobi.
In the making of ‘Manifestation’, Boddhi Satva has once again surrounded himself with artistic friends, each as talented as the next, joined by a shared need for music and magic in these dark times of global pandemic. Boddhi Satva has thus multiplied his already-prolific number of collaborators to almost thirty on this album.
On this concept project Boddhi Satva set out to break the rules by showcasing atypical voices that will send listeners on a journey from the United States through South Africa, East and Central Africa as well as many European countries. Once an Afro House ‘enfant terrible’, it turns out Satva grew up to be a respectable boss, patiently mentoring new generations of producers.
Boddhi Satva maps, through the course of ‘Manifestation’, a path he has been tracing for two decades: bringing together people from different musical genres and backgrounds, all contributing to his singularly focussed musical and spiritual vision. In fact, more than simply a ‘Manifestation’, Boddhi Satva has signed his manifesto here.
In Boddhi Satva’s own words: "Manifestation truly represents my musical evolution through my 21 years of career in the music industry. You'd think that as the years go by I'd run out of juice and more than ever this appears as an absolute impossibility for me. Music has helped and blessed me in so many ways, strengthened me when going through emotionally challenging times, and allowed me to transcend myself in ways I couldn't formulate in words. I dedicate this album to my mother who was alive through the making of this project but recently passed away on the 15th of February 2022, just a week before her 73rd birthday."
Artwork was created by Omar Victor Diop, who says:
“With this visual creation, I wanted to share my testimony as Boddhi's creative friend, knowing the intensity of the personal journey that the Ancestral Soul trilogy represents for him. ‘Manifestation’, the final chapter of this odyssey, is the reaching of the garden of consciousness, an epiphany moment in the life of any artist, where peace is savoured through the exercise of an uninhibited, pure and cathartic creation. . My brother Boddhi made it happen ... and I am proud to bear witness to it with this work.”

This EP, translates everything that the African culture so much values and lives in its daily life. Culture, color, race and diversity are thus the chosen elements, to show that there are no boundaries in music.
It is a work where the symbiosis of African natural rhythms and the blink of electronics merge into a single blend, glorifying universality.
For these talented artists, each note built is a free journey without destination , and the course decides who hears them.

'Every note is a journey, and only you decide where you want to go'
The ETNIAS is union.

Para estes talentosos artistas ,  cada nota construida é uma viagem livre de destino e decide o seu rumo quem as ouve.

'Cada nota é uma viagem, e só tu decides aonde queres ir'

Founded in 1996 by Peter Adarkwah, Barely Breaking Even (BBE Music) started life as a London club night, taking its name from the eponymous Disco record by the Universal Robot Band.

The label grew from the vibrant early 90's club scene with its first release, Stop & Listen compiled by Dr Bob Jones in 1996, opening the door to iconic series' such as All Back To Mine & Late Nite Tales.

A tonne of releases followed, ranging from Disco to Funk, Jazz to House. In the year 2000, the label celebrated Masters at Work's 10th Anniversary with a mighty box set that featured near 80 tracks.

A year later BBE Music spawned the Beat Generation Series of artist albums, notably introducing J Dilla (Welcome 2 Detroit) & a young Will.I.Am's first solo outing, alongside DJ Jazzy Jeff, Madlib & DJ Spinna, all of whom contributed to this seminal set of long players.

A quarter of a century and well over 500 titles later, having worked with Mark Ronson, Roy Ayers, Questlove, Hugh Masekela, DJ Premier, Dimitri from Paris, Joey Negro, Kon, RZA, Laurent Garnier, Black Coffee, DJ Shadow, David Rodigan and John Morales among many others, BBE Music looks to the future, celebrating its rich heritage while continuing to release a bounty of fresh titles.

The label’s most recent projects include an expansive reissue series from pioneering Nigerian label Tabansi, new imprint ‘Batakari’ in association with Boddhi Satva and the critically acclaimed ‘J Jazz’ Japanese Jazz multi-album project, not to mention the recent landmark 500th label release: a brand new version of 'Barely Breaking Even', featuring Leroy Burgess, Patrick Adams and Louie Vega.

In 2021 BBE Music is celebrating its 25th anniversary. To mark this milestone, the label is offering up some special projects, from the 20th Anniversary edition of J Dilla’s ‘Welcome 2 Detroit’, through David Bowie tribute album ‘Modern Love’, to a special new ‘Worldwide’ compilation from old friend Gilles Peterson. BBE Music will also be looking to the future with more exciting original artist projects, plus merch collaborations events and more...
