kougaheritage Beautiful work, really enjoying this album Nic. Thank you for creating this healing music and for sharing it with the world. Great musicianship from the band. Already a classic on my playlist, and it led me onto Bandcamp, where I've been finding great music, including old favourites. What a lovely space exists here. Who played percussion and did the drum programming, is it also Rob?

about

A guitar centred excursion into realms of chilled spacious jazz and jazz fusion.This largely instrumental album has one vocal track (12 ) which is a tribute to the inspired legacy that Nelson Mandela has left and features a number of South African artists recorded in 2008 and was gifted to the Nelson Mandela Foundation.Tracks 1-11 were created in my studio as a solo project - 6 of which were produced during the covid pandemic.
I trust that the music will be a balm to your soul.
