Product Information
Water of Life Dance Dubs introduces Maajo Soundsystem, the electronic sub-project of the Finnish-African group Maajo. This album revisits and reimagines the band's 2022 release Water of Life (Wonderwheel Recordings), transforming it's organic instrumentation into vibrant arrangements built on vintage drum machines and synthesizers. These stripped-down, dancefloor-ready versions go beyond a simple remix, enriched with new balafons, percussion, and vocals by Senegalese artist Ismaila Sané and Mauritian musician Gilbert K.Sané began his career in the 1970s as a percussionist and African ballet dancer before relocating to Finland in 1999, later becoming the first emigrant to receive the country's Citizen of the Year award. While Maajo tours as a six-piece live band, Maajo Soundsystem offers a flexible electronic configuration that retains live vocals and percussion. The group has released multiple LPs and EPs on Queen Nanny and Permanent Vacation, scored the silent film Lost World, received remixes from Luke Vibert and Call Super, and toured internationally, with strong radio and press support from BBC Radio 6, Worldwide FM, KEXP, Resident Advisor, WFMU, and more.
