Under a Mango Tree

Under A Mango Tree

Marigold (Calendula)
(Lyrics by Gabriel Zingiber)

A marigold for me, who's never been afraid
Of the ferals and the oaths along the way

A marigold for you, sun-scolded, ghostly fed
As a scarecrow loves the whiff of Summer Rain

Zingiber's 'Under a Mango Tree' stands as a testament to his artistry, garnering international acclaim for its masterful blend of folk and rock. Recorded, mixed, and produced by Gabriel, the track highlights his multi-instrumental talent on guitar, mandolin, and flute. Drawing from vernacular and chamber music traditions, the arrangement by Zingiber weaves these intricate layers into a cohesive and dynamic whole.

Berlin On Air calls it a “true masterpiece of instrumental folk music,” while York Calling (UK) compares its 1960s/70s folk-rock vibe to the legendary Jethro Tull, praising the “astoundingly beautiful flute melodies” and evolving instrumentation. The Further (FR) describes it as a “unique fusion of experimental folk and soft rock,” offering an “avant-garde yet rustic vision” that bridges the past, present, and future.

Mesmerized (UK) calls it “a refreshing slice of musical brilliance,” blending modulating guitars and flutes into an “impressively eclectic” piece that captivates a wide audience. TJPL News (UK) highlights its “genre-defying soundscape,” where intricate guitar work and rich textures of mandolin and flute create an engaging, boundary-pushing masterpiece.
