notes
Mujaji are 2 brothers who have been writing and recording music together for over a decade. What began as experiments on a 4-track eventually led to their first release in 2001 as a downtempo act. Based in Brooklyn they toured around the US and released tracks on numerous labels.
New York was thriving culturally in the late 90's, hip-hop was at its peak and downtempo was a fast growing genre. After 9/11 and the dot-com bubble bursting the economy was rapidly deteriorating and music took a back seat to survival for many. In this time Mujaji began focusing on incorporating songs into their music in the hope of creating a stronger message with which to reach people. The forthcoming album, On a Bridge Between Clouds, is the final draft of that message.
Although Mujaji is now based in the UK, the record was mostly written and recorded in a remote part of upstate New York where the winters consist of 3 feet of snow for 6 months. The isolation of that place yielded an introspective look at what was happening to the world around them. Culturally, economically and politically the US has been in a state of turmoil. The album represents a reaction to this over a 4 year period right up until the present. It is not an attempt at prescribing the ultimate solution, it merely poses a simple question to the listener: 'is this the way?'

Great Music
author: Douglas LippertThis album is catches you by surprise. While enjoyable the first time you listen to it, it grows on you in a way that can't be described. I find myself singing from this album to myself. The title track is one of the most beautiful pieces of music made in the last ten years.
Two words... "buy it"
author: Anthony JonesAn excellent album, I'd never heard of the group until I stumbled across them on MySpace.com and then ordered this CD. A soulful, wonderful album that just carries you away.
