Suns Of Arqa - Wadada Magic

Review by Júlia Rocha

Suns Of Arqa's latest album, Wadada Magic, is an impressive blend of traditional Indian music and contemporary electronic soundscapes. The album features a range of guest performers, including percussionist and vocalist Ravi Shankar, flautist and tabla player Zakir Hussain, and sitarist Anoushka Shankar.

The album opens with "Jagnath Bhairav," a hypnotic track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The tabla and sitar are prominent in this track, and the electronic beats and synths add a modern touch. The album continues with tracks like "Bhavani Shankar," which features haunting vocals and a driving bassline.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Ganges Delta Blues," which features a bluesy guitar riff and a spoken-word performance by Wadada Leo Smith. The track is a fusion of different genres, but it works well together and creates a unique sound.

Summary by Júlia Rocha

Wadada Magic is a well-crafted album that showcases Suns Of Arqa's ability to blend different musical styles. The album is a must-listen for fans of world music and electronic music alike.
