Description
Winner of BBC Radio 3 World Music Award 2008. Soul Science by Justin Adams and (Gambian Griot), Juldeh Camara, has attracted a lot of media attention since itâ€™s release in October 2008. Since then they have been touring the world covering venues as far as Russia and Australia. Soul Science is the result of a meeting of two worlds , an Afro-Blues shakedown. Soul Science won the Culture Crossing category at the BBC Radio 3 World Music Awards and received rave reviews everywhere:- "...a real landmark in African flavoured blues...it just feels right" fRoots â€œUnquestionably the cross-cultural album of the yearâ€� â€“ Independent on Sunday â€œâ€¦raw and gutsyâ€� â€“ The Telegraph â€œâ€¦this is no dry experiment but music played with real soulâ€� - The Sun 4**** â€œâ€¦pounding percussion and driving guitar with equally stirring and virtuoso fiddle solos and rousing vocalsâ€� â€“ The Guardian 4**** â€œAn album to make the word fusion respectable againâ€� â€“ The Evening Standard 4**** â€œâ€¦Camaraâ€™s obsessive fiddling and Adamsâ€™ wide guitar shapes worked a treatâ€¦â€� â€“ Financial Times 4**** â€œ â€¦it is difficult not to imagine Bo (Diddley) himself playing "Ya Ta Kaya" or "Sanakubay" on some 1950â€™s package tourâ€� â€“ The Times 4**** "...this is an exceptional effort" - Songlines 5***** "Admirers of Tinariwen and Ali Farka Toure should find this irrestible" - Uncut 4**** Soul Science is far from a purist piece , it has gritty rock and groove throughout. It uses the ancient Soul Sciences of scale and Rhythm to create a 21st Century Afro Blues.
