Afrobuddha is the hotly-awaited new music project from East London-based Japanese producer/DJ duo Kay Suzuki and Koichi Sakai, arguably two of the biggest and most respected names pushing at the boundaries of the capital's independent world music scene over the last five years.
Obame by Afrobuddha meets Kakatsitsi Drummers by roundinmotion
Resident DJs and producers at some of East London's most celebrated underground venues such as Passing Clouds and The Empowering Church as well as a host of superior quality music events and festivals across the capital and beyond, Suzuki and Sakai have been taking followers of music par excellence on a journey through their own art and philosophy via rhythm oriented genres as diverse as house, disco, Afrobeat and reggae sweeping up into the mix the essence of London's vibrant multi-cultural society, celebrating in particular the spiritual affinity they feel with the African and Afro-Caribbean music community.
The first release to hail from the Afrobuddha banner will be OBAME, a powerful collaboration with the KAKATSITSI DRUMMERS, a Ghanaian drum and dance troupe, featuring pioneering drummers from the Ga tribe of Southern Ghana, with their roots in the fishing community of Jamestown. They combine traditional drumming grooves, played on a wide variety of West African drums, with melodies from bamboo flutes, xylophone and folkloric chants in stunning harmony.
OBAME is the product of three years' incubation and development of inspiration following Suzuki and Sakai's meeting with the Kakatsitsi Drummers back in 2008. The track fuses their intoxicating raw drumming, traditional chants and bamboo flutes with Afrobuddha's unique rendering of modern dance music to create a truly spiritual dance music of our time.
