Sola Akingbola releases his debut solo album
Posted on 06.12.2007
Jamiroquai's long-standing percussionist, Sola Akingbola, has just released his debut solo album. Routes To Roots - Yoruba Drums From Nigeria, is a celebration of the unique percussive style of Sola's birthplace. "I was always seduced by the sound of the Yoruba language and the way it was expressed within the drumming. When a Yoruba drummer plays, it's not just music: he's talking, reciting, teasing, invoking and praising. These qualities open up other worlds of interest for me that go beyond music: worlds that lead me to history, to the essence of my people".
