Adam Solomon & Tikisa

REVIEW OF "ROOTS RHYTHMS"  

"This is a great showcase for the talents of Adam Solomon and friends.  It is happy and strongly smiles in the face of darkness that is so much a part of this world.  This album will lift the spirits, unfold the wings of the listener and allow a broken spirit to once again soar above the chaos.  The beat and the guitars blend with the voices that remind us we are all truly one tribe...human"

ON ADAM'S CONTRIBUTIONS TO "AFRICAN GUITAR SUMMIT I" FROM MYSPACE

Hey Adam, I just added you recently and wanted to say hi.  I find your music very inspiring and cutting edge, particularly in the way you weave melody throughout the rhythm, especially from 'African Guitar Summit', which is how I first heard you--and the only recordings I have at the moment.  I really like 'Mwajuma' and 'Pesa ni Unfunguo' (my favorite).  After listening to that track 'Pesa ni Unfunguo',  it suddenly occurred to me that the 'universal sound of humanity' is really the I-IV-V progression...it makes people feel it...I just have never heard the I-IV-V put together like you do on "Pesa ni Unfunguo...so thanks for recording it!  Let me know when you play in Seattle and I'll come out for the show.
Thanks,
Paul
