White Elephant Recordings are pleased to present the début album from one of the hottest young live bands in the UK - Harambé.
Steeped in the traditions of classic soul of the 70s, these soulboys brew up a heady stew of original soul and funk which eschews the straitjacketed robo-beats and over-production of the current crop of RnB stars in favour of old-school grit and power with a modern edge. Their music seems to conjure up the spirits of the great soul singers of the past - combining the smooth sensuality of Marvin Gaye, the urgency of Gil Scott Heron, the loose-limbed funk of the Meters and the melody of Stevie Wonder - yet at the same time pointing to the future, with its edgy, layered beats and flashes of electronic weirdness.
This is authentic soul for a greyed-out world, played with passion and energy by a band who are not afraid of squaring up to their heritage and dragging it kicking and screaming into the 21st century.
Vive le Fonque. Vive Harambé. Amen to that.
