The Gospel Dynamics - Doing The Master's Will (Nablijven Extended Edit)

This Afro-pop gem showcases the incredible vocals of Ivorian singer Nayanka Bell, known as the "Barbra Streisand of Africa." Her voice is accompanied by a blend of more traditional Ivorian rhythms and smooth pieces of electronic pop on top of it.

Little side note; This album won the Africa Music Award in 1994, which is the same year she won the prize for most beautiful female voice of Africa. 
And I totally get why she won both prizes!

The track’s arrangement is a perfect balance of organic and modern elements. Where I normally would go for the horns (that are incredibly warm and energetic in this track), for it the guitar part that gets me in this tune.

For this version, I did some rework on the structure to enhance the flow of the track a bit. I did use the CD version of the album for this edit. But most work went into redoing the drums ever so slightly to give the track somewhat more body for the big systems.

Snippet from Liner notes:

"The birth of a music genre is often attributed to a few lucky rebels or musical geniuses who dared challenging the status quo and inspired thousands others in doing so. Lord Shorty’s re-invention of calypso music in the 1970’s was no different, changing the musical landscape forever. With his imposing height of almost 2 meters, Trinidadian born ‘Shorty’ was devoted to (musically) unite the African and Indian cultures, the two major ethnic groups on Trinidad & Tobago. By fusing calypso with Indian rhythms and instruments, or chutney music, he created an exciting new musical hybrid and called it Sokah. As a true Calypsonian, Shorty felt this new sound could well be the answer to Jamaica’s reggae that started overshadowing Trinidad’s calypso at the time. Little did he know that the energetic and syncopated off-beat drum rhythm had far more in store than that.

Sokah, now soca, stands for The Soul of Calypso. It drew its inspiration from many different musical genres such as reggae, latin and zouk which were also airing in Port of Spain and Bridgetown, as well as soul, disco and house ruling in New York, Toronto and London. This influence from different styles and places across the Caribbean, African and Indian diaspora played a big part in soca's growth and success, while popular artists such as Arrow, Machel Montano, Brother Resistance, Lord Nelson and Super Blue helped shape and popularize the genre further in the 80's and 90’s. Even more, it led to soca leaving its mark on new genres such as reggaeton, dancehall, afro house and even EDM. Once you start paying attention, you'll find the soca rhythm along with the steelpan sound everywhere, and rightly so.

Dozens of specific soca styles emerged too. From the early chutney and steelband soca to parang, rapso and many other so-called crossovers. These sub-genres were as much a display of soca’s malleability as it was attesting to its distinctive sound and artistic creativity of its makers. Soon, faster BPM’s started making their entry with Jump & Wave and a whole new generation of artists took the genre to global popularity with smooth R&B flavored groovy soca.
