RE: THREE TUNES TUESDAY FROM THE CAVE- HIGHLIFE

in Hive Learners2 years ago

I have been listening to some African music in various subgenres. Although afrobeats appears to be the dominant musical style on the continent, there are other subgenres such amapiano, fuji, and highlife music.

Thanks for the education, always love learning this sort of stuff and delighted to hear some home grown talent from you this week.

The Cavemen are my featured musicians for three songs on Tuesday. It is a highlife band made up of two brothers who spent the majority of their undergraduate years producing fantastic music and wishing that the world will once again embrace the genre. The band's other members are divided among the other instruments, with Kingsley playing the bass and Benjamin, the younger brother, playing drums.

Cool, I like the sound of these guys a lot, looking forward to having a listen now.

ME YOU AND I/ SELENSE -- Fan-bloody-tastic, really enjoying the sounds and the vibes of this one.

AZANA/UGO -- that instrument that looks like a pot sounds great and I love the backing singers in this one and the sax that kicks in near 2 minutes, quality, always a great addition to a song for me. The lead singer's hair is cool as well with the shells in it! I'd say these guys would be amazing live. There is something almost a bit jazzy about the composition of the song too, takes off in all sorts of directions.

Anita - "The synchronization of all the musical instruments is incredible" - yep fully agree, great vibes in this one and a nice fusion of sounds..
