Zhou-Mack considers music primarily as… freedom!
His musical culture takes its roots from reggae and Congolese rumba. But it also follows its own personal ways and styles thanks to his travels and meeting with many other musicians, which unavoidably inspired his cosmopolitan and crossbred manner of composing and playing.
The texts he writes are essentially an appeal to peace (“Damoklo”), love (“Intergenta am’”), freedom (“Vivu Afrik’”), change (“Ŝanĝi”), having fun (“Muziko invitas”), and an invitation to dancing (“Ĉu bone?”), rhythmed to his Africain flavored reggae.
Through a symbiosis of northern and southern rhythms, a distillation of good vibrations, Originoj is the fruit of several years’ work with high-quality musicians such as La Fève and many other contributors, as well as to exceptional chorists, Manassé and Malou.
One acoutistic guitar number, adapted from a poem by the Swede Sara Török carries us to South Africa.
This album, as its name shows, will lead you to the origines of this eclectic, warm, and colorful music.
