Kasba new acoustic album: "Darna" |
(March 19, 2009)
The group Kasba returns with their new album entitled Darna to the acoustic roots of North African music. With Darna, what means “my house, Kasba brings old compositions of the group in a fresh and existing way using exclusively acoustic instruments. Compared to earlier recordings of the group in an electric setting the compositions on Darna are played with more dynamics and with more focus on improvisation. The album contains both energetic and lively work as well as more introvert tracks. The lyrics concern personal matters in the lives of the Kasba musicians. In the track “Nabki” the group brings a thought to the drummer of the band that died in the 90’s because of a car crash and in “Hay Manou” the feeling of homesickness of the leadsinger to his roots in Morocco is expressed. In “Nabina” the group is sending a message out to make people think over the borders of race, culture and religion. This call is been given extra strength due to the cooperation of Indian singer and writer Raj Mohan and the Ethiopian singer Helen Tessema of Afrisinia. |  |
