SOL060 Zakir - Save The Children - Original Release Date May 7, 2018

1. Save The Children - Zakir 
2. Save The Children (David Mayer Remix) - Zakir
3. Naa Zambara - Zakir 
4. Naa Zambara (Switchdance Remix) - Zakir

Sol Selectas is very excited to welcome back Zakir from Moscow, with 2 original songs titled  “Save The Children’” and “Naa Zambara”. Despite living 1000s of miles aways, Zakir's music brings us directly into an African safari, and he cites his love for the rich culture ,and various percussive rhythms as a major influence in these 2 production.

The title track “Save The Children’” is pure afro-house with heavy tribal drums, powerful chord stabs, and a solid dance floor groove. The exciting tension that builds and builds until the break down, is released when the children playfully sing along, and the vibrant energy awakens our spirit.

"Naa Zambara" takes us even deeper, with a dirty broken beat surrounded by lush warm bass, and an emotional vocal from the people of Gbaya, in the west of Central African Republic. The chants and bird noises in the background take us to the core of the jungle, while the soothing bass  guides our path.

David Mayer of Germany joins Sol Selectas for the first time, and delivers a stellar remix of “Save The Children”. He maintains an afro house groove adding even more percussion, and taking us to another planet, with a long arpeggio breakdown that is equally psychedelic and enchanting.

For the second remix, Sol Selectas welcomes Portuguese artist Switchdance, with an incredible interpretation of "Naa Zambara". He creates his own new rhythm by chopping up the African chants, adding emotional flutes, and classic 303 synth lines. The wild acid ride takes us to the other side and back again.

The artwork by Helia Jamali visualizes the music and its rich color palette,  and pays tribute to one of our recent lost children - the African Rhino -which is now sadly extinct. The title is a message for all of us to be mindful and considerate of every living creature on this planet.
