Kwabena - (3:48)
93 BPM Minor Jam - (4:47) 80 BPM
Review: Bet you didn't know that 'Kwabena' is the traditional Akan name given to a male child born on a Tuesday? We didn't either, but 21 year-old jazz pianist, producer, and vocalist Gabriel Benn does, and his knowledge of African culture doesn't just stop there. Over the course this two- track single, Benn takes us on a 'metaphorical journey through Ghana'. "Kwabena" is a languid slice of Afro-house, equally gentle and propulsive. "Minor Jam" is a more energetic mix of live instrumentation (including shimmering keys) and electronica. In short, a positively exotic single and a lot cheaper than a holiday to Ghana.
