Vee Mukarati - Vital Signs

A meditation on the contemporary Afro-jazz sound that attempts to bring jazz full circle back to its African roots. Featuring soulful vocals, traditional Zimbabwean instruments, layered string arrangements, explosive instrumental solos and irregular-time signature grooves.
Sung in English and Shona, Vital Signs is an exploration of the duality of the migrant experience; what it means to be a stranger in a strange land; racial injustice; mortality and loss; and the power of hope. Released on August 22nd 2020 bandcamp.com has called it "One of the most exciting and beautiful jazz debuts this year". This limited edition press will also feature two unreleased remixes by italian producer Cole Naima featuring Synik with the iconic cover artwork by Admire Kamudzengerere.
