Album Description
Available in:
"Africa Speaks" est le vingt-cinquième album studio (trente-neuvième album au total) du groupe Santana, sorti chez Concord Records le 7 juin 2019.
L'album a été produit lors d'une session d'enregistrement de 10 jours par Rick Rubin au Shangri La Studios de Rubin à Malibu, au cours de laquelle ils ont enregistré 49 chansons. Rubin et Carlos Santana ont utilisé un groupe de huit musiciens (qui comprenait la femme de Santana, Cindy Blackman Santana, à la batterie).
User Album Review
His milestone 25th studio album with Santana, as the title indicates, Africa Speaks is inspired by the sounds and rhythms of Africa.
Mystical in many ways, like Santana’s previous works, with Africa Speaks, you can feel and hear the African elements vividly. As mentioned, presented as an 11 song record, it consists of tracks filled with brilliant guitar riffs that seem endless and wide – almost like the wide nature in Africa. That said, each song also includes some native singing and rhythms. In addition, much of the lyrics are in Spanish, sung primarily by Spanish Singer Buika throughout the album, successfully fusing Latino and African culture into one tightly knit collection.
For example, “Bembele” and “Candombe Cumbele” are purely African songs, with African vocals and rhythms. Then, on the other hand, “Oye Este Mi Canto” and “Yo Me Lo Merezco” have more of the Latino vibe, but by some twist of fate, you can find both influences in all songs. This in mind, on some songs the cultures are equally strong, while other times one weighs heavier than the other. Regardless of the balance, all the songs consist of brilliant musicianship that is mesmerizing.
Africa Speaks is an album that gives an often unsung culture a voice and hope for a more harmonious future. A super interesting concept that captures you for well over one hour.
