Afro-Finnish band Maajo return with their third album, “Water of Life,” a fluid celebration of various influences. Supported by two preceding singles, “Better Days” and “Unelmissani,” the album is the group’s first release with the Brooklyn, NY-based tastemaker label Wonderwheel Recordings. Maajo’s signature Afro-Balearic sound meets late eighties new age and fusion, with touches of modern soul. The addition of two band members, Waina and Gilbert K, as well as featuring artists Issiaka Dembele and Ismaila Sané, has rooted the album’s stories in a diverse range of backgrounds, featuring vocals in no less than six different languages. 

Gilbert K’s drum grooves pay tribute to the late Tony Allen’s legendary heritage and the percussion experiments on a more melodic and atmospheric tip. Cold synth pads and 303 squeaks blend with warm guitars, fretless bass, and Issiaka Dembele’s sublime kora harps and balafon mallets. “Water of Life” shows a band at its maturation point, reaching the cross-cultural coalescence of Finnish-African sound that’s ready for the dancefloor or home-listening. 

The three vocalists take centre-stage on the album: Waina hails from Zambia and sings in Nyanja, English and Finnish; a renowned musician in Zambia for over two decades who now calls Finland home, Waina wrote a song that reached the finals of the 2020 Afrimusic contest. Gilbert K primarily sings in his native Mauritian Creole while comprising part of the percussion line. He made his way to Finland by way of South Africa and China, eventually winning the Voice of Finland show. Gilbert K has played with such legends as Tony Allen, Andy Summers, Diana King, and Suzanne Vega. Ismaila Sané is from the Casamance region of Southern Senegal and sings in Wolof (a widely-spoken language in West Africa) on “Ndekete,” and in Jola (a smaller language in Casamance) on “Èwàn”. 

Maajo is a sonic, linguistic, and cultural melting pot that has come together in Tampere, Finland, like a tropical breeze from the cold north. Their musical explorations lead from equatorial soundscapes to the woods and moods of their native Scandinavia. African influences, electronic beats and organic rhythms, ethereality and the sounds of nature all make up the patchwork sound of Maajo. 

Not only is Maajo’s music a way of travelling to faraway places, the songs themselves have travelled all over the globe. Maajo has evolved from a sample-based electronic music project to a full-sized band, including African vocalists and musicians. The group has put out two full-length albums and three EP’s on Queen Nanny records, in addition to a release on German label Permanent Vacation. Maajo has received the remix treatment from artists such as Luke Vibert and Call Super, and has toured festivals and clubs internationally. The band has built a dedicated international following having been championed by the likes of Gilles Peterson (Worldwide FM), Tom Ravenscroft (BBC Radio 6), and Tim Sweeney (Beats In Space), while they’ve been featured by KEXP (Song of the Day), Resident Advisor, Ransom Note, and Pan-African Music. 

“Water of Life” is out on Wonderwheel Recordings October 14th, 2022, both digitally and as an exclusive, limited-run 2xLP.

Live Ecstatic Dance set in Pisac, Peru on 1-08-23.

SACRED - VALLEY - PERU - EDANCE - 1 - 08 - 23

Ecstatic dance set prerecorded live played for the Asheville Movement Collective & Warren Wilson College on 4.14.23. The event was also a benefit for the Center for Conscious Living & Dying, an organization doing incredible service towards cultivating presence and respect for death by honoring and embracing the final seasons of life and providing proper end of life care ✨ 

The set is inspired by their mission, with a vision of cultivating consciousness and presence through the death portal, so expect a bit of a journey into the bardo. May we dance to cultivate a deeper awareness of our relationship with death and may we find that we celebrate life that much more and dance that much harder as a result <3

“Curious & Curiouser”

Tumbling, tumbling
She falls down, down, down….
Humbled and wide eyed, 
she gazes up from the ground.

She is Alice, 
being asked to grow up
Innocent eyes, 
being all shaken up

All alone Alice, 
no Carroll in sight.
Wake up little Alice!
Wake up to your light!!!

Stop eating all 
those Wonderland treats
Don't have any more
of the “Drink me potion” drink…

Dearest girl,
Don't you see?
Lying deep down inside
Is all the wonder you need

It’s there all along,
In each precious moment we hold
Curious how most,
Forget in growing old

So dear Alice, 
stop chasing white rabbits,
Stepping through mirrors 
Taking this life for granted

Create your world
in the here and now
Stay true to your wonder 
as you pierce through the veil  

Break free of illusion, 
open your eyes heart & mind
For to be curious & curiouser, 
Alice, is oh so divine ✨

Me voici à poil à l'hosto
L'aiguille hypodermique me cherche les lipides
Le toubib s'alarme de mon masque livide
T'inquiète doc Il n'est jamais trop tôt

Héros, héros, suis-je un héros?
Qualité première lucide
Je fais mon check-up comme d'hab
Tout baigne, limpide
Résultat zéro double zéro

Bullshot et shit un jour auront ma peau
Et mon cerveau son propre acide
Oh comme j'aimerais noyé dans le liquide
Descendre à reculons comme Arthur Rimbaud

O.K. K.O.
Le cœur pompe à malheur goutte à goutte se vide
Cancer arrêt cardiaque me laissent impavide
Dormir une chance de rêve trop c'est trop
