We
feel that 'Motherland' is a timeless masterpiece... It began in
Africa..! It is a habit to assume that it is hard to reach a peak twice.
Well, this is not the case when it comes to 'Motherland'. Five years
have passed since 'Elements', the debut album from Ariane MacAvoy, AKA
Nimba. The album was well accepted in the world, and brought her one
step forward to the recognition of connoisseurs of African and World
Beat Music. 'Motherland' is the fruitful result of original ideas and
time that Ariane had spent with the coastal tribes of Guinea and the
Baga people of West Africa. This album is a sensual voyage to the depth
of Africa. Being a master of Djembe and West African dance, Ariane
combines in her music knowledge in ethno rhythms on native instruments
(mainly percussion), and turns it to a sensual multi dimensional
experience. A dynamic projection of her visions, as if you can almost
touch the sounds, you feel drifted away to the bush by the deep
atmosphere that she builds. Ariane finds the delicate balance between
raw tribal native music and today's modern computerized options. When
tribal meets technology. When Ariane is not working on her Nimba
project, she's busy writing music for The Nommos, her musical
collaboration with Goa Gil. Ariane is much respected. Her reputation
takes her far and close to remote tribes and obscured teachers in West
Africa, where mentally it's like a second home to her. David Bowie once
said: 'The future belongs to those who can hear it coming'. We wonder,
was it after he listened to Nimba's first album?
