John Wizards might have started in Maputo. It also might have started in Cape Town. It certainly owes a debt to Dar es Salaam. These are the three places that band leader and producer John Withers either travelled through or lived in, and he feels have had a marked influence on his musical output. They also happen to be cities in which Emmanuel Nzaramba, John Wizards' Rwandan singer has lived too. The duo has since grown into a band and recorded an album that gently but persuasively gets under your skin on the strength of it's lovely melodies and strong, smart arrangements. It is a brilliant combination of traditional African music, R\u0026amp;B and chamber pop, filtered through gentle electronic arrangements that cross-pollinate with South African house, Shangaan Electro and dub, and it's the sort of music that effortlessly captivates with it's beauty and richness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Tek Lef Schrempf \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Lusaka By Night \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Limpop \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Muizenberg \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Iyongwe \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Finally\/Jet Up \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Maria \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Jabu Ley \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Jamieo \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Leuk \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Durvs \u003cbr\u003e1.12 I'm Still a Serious Guy \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Hogsback \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Lushoto \u003cbr\u003e1.15 Friend\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
