@squidger: Msafiri is a master of turning himself into a choir :-)

@rado-music-and-friends: Well that's a cool comment! Thank you! :-)

Many of you know my love & appreciation for World Music, especially from India & Africa. 

Now a little while ago an already renowned african musician named Msafiri Zawose (http://msafirizawose.com/) somehow noticed me & asked me if I want to collab & eXPeriment a bit with his music. So this is my first try on one of his tracks from his last album "Mbotela" called "Ilima" (Original here: http://msafirizawose.bandcamp.com/track/ilima-2)

I feel very much honoured to be thought worthy to contribute to the continuation of this ancient Tanzanian "GoGo" music & hope you like it! :-)

This is what others write about him:
"Msafiri Zawose is renowned for his traditional Gogo style music, which relies heavily on the zeze & limba in combination with distinct lyrical harmonies. This rich musical tradition is from the Wagogo people Dodoma in Central Tanzania. Msafiri Zawose, son of the late Dr. Hukwe Zawose, continues this musical tradition while fusing with more modern styles, creating a truly distinct and unique sound."

Having started off as a drummer in a PopRock Coverband, passing through the eXPerimental & psychedelic stages of music of the 1970s, arrived in the New Millennium as a percussionist in the Berlin Band "Los Multikultis", privileged to play alongside brilliant musicians like Colin Bass of the Band "CAMEL", I now mainly produce WorldFusion music in my home studio in Berlin, Germany   
----------------------------
I'm a Hobby Musician (various drums, sitar, guitar, vox, plus now VST's & loops), Sound- & ComputerEngineer from Berlin/Germany.
Initially having been somewhat forced to "enjoy" a musical education of sorts as a child (playing sheet music on a recorder) I really started enjoying music with the appearance of The Beatles. So I started off my "career" as a drummer in the mid - 1960s here:

After the Band dissolved, and inspired by the upcoming of psychedelic & electronic music I got into SoundExperiments together with the BassMan of our group. Of course, there is no way these can compare to the intricate "symphonies" being created nowadays in the age of computer music.

Further following the path of The Beatles, esp. George Harrison, I travelled to India in 1971, getting myself a Sitar there, and upon my return trying to teach myself to play on it:

Later I found out that I also was able to sing, and so I also learned some Guitar playing

In the mid-1990's I met my friend the BassMan again who had moved to Bavaria and joined another Band. The "Bavarian Power Jam" Session came about very spontaneously around 1995. Credits for anything but drumming go to http://www.dbusk.de

Now, having seen the vast possibilities at hand, I have got into "it" again...and with a little help from my newly found and amazingly lovely SoundCloud & FaceBook friends I feel I could succeed...
