New Album "Sound Therapy" by Manjul!

The new album " Sound Therapy " by MANJUL is available on streaming platforms and on vinyl at the BACOSHOP! Find it at this link.

 

MANJUL (Dub To Mali, Sugar Minott, African Brothers, Takana Zion, Azania Band, Danakil), a multi-instrumentalist, singer, mix engineer, and producer, presents a new album, the result of a collaboration with sound engineer FRANÇOIS FX VILAVERDE and drummer YVO ABADI!

The trio met in Bamako through various projects with artists like TIKEN JAH FAKOLY, AMADOU ET MARIAM, and the Paris-Bamako Festival. Beyond their shared passion for reggae, the three artists have their own unique sensitivity to music. They are convinced of its therapeutic power, affecting the mental, physical, social, and spiritual well-being of those who create it, accompany it, spread it, or receive it. All three work alongside many artists in the studio and live performances. This work is a testament to their friendships and collaborations, bringing together a diverse group of musicians, singers, and vocalists from different backgrounds, musical expressions, and generations.

Recorded in various studios in Paris, Mali, Jamaica, and Reunion Island, this album expresses a wide range of emotions and cultural particularities. On this project, you’ll find artists from the Indian Ocean islands, Comoros, Congo, Mali, Guyana, Jamaica, and France, creating reggae tracks with roots influences. These songs, colored by multiple musical influences, tackle deep themes and represent "a musical journey within and around each individual, driven by the therapeutic power that ‘sound’ offers to all living beings."

Beyond its purely musical aspect, YVO ABADI, also a painter and illustrator, adds a visual dimension to the project by designing the album’s artwork. This album was meticulously crafted, with the trio developing a precise creative process. Instrumental themes are proposed by MANJUL and arranged by YVO ABADI who brings his rhythmic sensitivity. The sound direction and enhancement are overseen by FX VILAVERDE throughout the recording and mixing process, in addition to his contributions on keyboards, bass, trumpet, percussion, and vocals. MANJUL lead vocals also feature on 4 tracks in different languages and styles.

This project also includes several high-profile collaborations with special guests: CLINTON FEARONCEDRIC MYTONCORNELL CAMPBELLBACO MOURCHIDTIKOK VELLAYEVALERIE TRIBORDJUPITER AND OKWESS and many others. Among the musicians, talented artists such as CYRIL ATEFTARANTABABU, saxophonist RICO GAULTIER (Faya Horns Roots Heritage, etc.), trombonist DIDIER BOLAY (Tiken Jah Fakoly, Inna De Yard, etc.), and guitarists KUBIX (IJahman Levi, …) and HUGH VALOT (Alpha Blondy, etc.) provide the rhythm.. You’ll also find AHMED FOFANA on kora and balafon (Lauryn Hill, Toumani Diabate, etc.), and SHAKY NORMAN on melodica!
