Warsaw Afrobeat Orchestra is a unique band not only because of their album Wendelu being released in a prestigious American label Ubiquity Records (with its legend DJ Gilles Peterson playing in BBC). What is so uncommon about the band is that it presents an extremely exceptional combination of afrobeat, reggae, dub, funk, rock, jazz and world music all together. Experienced instrumentalists and three original vocalists create a vibrant dance blend that won't let you stand still for a single moment. ---warsawafrobeatorchestra.com

 

Following up on their well-received single ''Only Now'' featuring a remix with label mate Bosq, Warsaw Afrobeat Orchestra deliver a knockout debut album full of heavy Afro and island-inspired tunes. The album title Wëndelu means ''Wanderer'' in the native African Wolof language and is a fitting name for the album which explores the wide-range of sounds from the African diaspora and infused with their own traditional Polish folk, jazz and rock sensibilities. Tracks such as ''No Such Thing,'' ''Let It Flow'' and ''Usurpation'' reflect an obvious Reggae and Dub influence while the uptempo numbers on the album ''Close To Far'' and ''Which Direction'' veer towards Afro-Disco and Funk. Formed in 2012, the 10-piece band consists of musicians that have worked and collaborated with each other in different projects ranging from rock, jazz, folk, reggae and funk in the ever-evolving and musically diverse underground music scene in Poland. Inspired by the masters of Afrobeat, world music, as well as African tribal music which is evident in their lyrics and choruses that repeat and weave in and out of deep, hypnotic grooves infusing it with a transcendental quality. Be on the lookout for another 12'' single from the album to drop soon featuring a remix from Tom Noble who's recent work includes a killer disco version of Myron and E's ''Do It Do It Disco.'' ---amazon.com

 

Warsaw Afrobeat Orchestra to jedyny w Polsce i być może jedyny w Europie Wschodniej afrobeatowy kolektyw łączący elementy funku, reggae, jazzu i tradycji muzyki europejskiej. Członkowie grupy to aktywni muzycy występujący z wieloma zespołami sceny world music jak Village Kollektiv i Żywiołak czy rockowymi jak Elvis Deluxe.

WAO są nie tylko przekaźnikiem nigeryjskiej tradycji Fela Kutiego i jego rodziny, ale wprowadzają również do formuły afrobeatu elementy dubu oraz szeroko rozumianego etno, co nadaje ich muzyce świeżości i oryginalnego brzmienia.

Dziesięcioosobowy skład z trzema unikalnymi żeńskimi wokalami, oferujący wybuchowe połączenie muzyki etnicznej, funkowego groove’u i stylowej, rozbudowanej sekcji dętej, przykuł natychmiast uwagę kultowej amerykańskiej wytwórni Ubiquity. Owocem tego jest wydany w listopadzie 2013 singiel winylowy „Only Now”, zawierający m.in. remiks doświadczonego producenta Bosq z USA, a teraz – debiutancki album formacji, „Wendelu”. ---Pawel Gzyl, nowamuzyka.pl
