Beginner’s Guide To Buddha (New Release)
10Mar
Diaspora’s “A JAMAICAN IN CAIRO” Produced by Dr Cat features alongside some of the biggest names in the world music circuit.
This compilation is carefully crafted and put together by Phil Meadley.
Beginner’s Guide to Buddha is a 3CD guide to the Buddha-lounge scene in the 2010s.
Inspired by Claude Challe’s Buddha Bar compilations Beginner’s Guide to Buddha exists in a space where world music and dance culture cohabit in perfect harmony.
CD1: The Jewelled Heart gently eases us into the mood with a predominantly Asian influenced mix taking in influences from Pakistan, India, Uzbekistan & China.
CD2: Dancing With The Moon delves deep into the organic, lo-fi, and at times psychedelic side of world music where heavy blues fusion meet global dub and glitchy lo-fi and nuevo cumbia.
CD3: Hotel Zyannides moves into uptempo territory featuring dub qawwali, Ethiopian Rasta funk, Moroccan gnawa break beat & Egyptian reggae!
Throughout the Beginner’s Guide to Buddha the mood effortlessly glides from chilled to funky, organic to up-tempo, thanks to the blend of a wide variety of styles and cultural influences. As multi-hued creative collaborations from the most sought after musical producers blossom like lotus flowers, all you need to enjoy is an open-mind…
