Today I put in my earphones and clicked on a link that promised some Zero 7. Knowing only of this British band's musical lyricism and propensity to give an ear fondle so earth shattering and tear jerking, I completely gave of my undiluted attention. And a transfer it was! Nobly called "Likufanele" the heart tipping and subtly invading electronica studio sound plays to a praise hymn or ingoma rendered in spellbinding zulu folk choral chanting. The title is taken from lyrics so simple, so mighty reciting 'Igama obizwa ngalo likufanele' which means 'The name by which they call you suits you' How poetic and apt and what is your name if not an ode to you?
If nothing else this piece of ingenious fusion fine art will make you feel and leave you wanting. Or if you're me it'll bring an embarrassing tear to your weepy left eye!
Well up. Get Drunk.
