Bio / Background
Fools In Paradise is a six-person group playing both original and traditional music on African instruments: mbira dazvazimu (3-octave Zimbabwean kalimba), marimbas, bass kalimba, saxophone, congas and djembe. Five of the tracks on this CD feature a full marimba ensemble a la Dumi Maraire or Balafon. Pennywhistle, tar, steel drum, hosho (gourd shakers), dundun and donno (talking drum) are also used. There are no electronics or sampling, for an authentic, timeless sound.
There are a few traditional Zimbabwean songs, but the material is mostly originals with direct, thought-provoking lyrics. With five vocalists in the band, and four lead singers, the vocals are full and varied. There's even an a capella track!
