World Music: Zap Mama, "Gati"
(Belgium) We don’t know how this one slipped by us — it's not the latest video from the venerable world music pioneers Zap Mama, headed by Marie Daulnes, but it is certainly a charmer. The new CD is called "ReCreation", but "Gati" comes from the 2007 CD "Supermoon", and this song with its lighthearted feel is dedicated to the Pygmies who rescued Marie and her mother from the Congolese rebels that had killed her father. (Zap Mama's vocal stylings frequently reference the hocketing that characterizes pygmy music, in which a song is divided in such a way that each person sings one note, and the group creates the total expression of the melody by singing the notes individually in sequence.) "Gati" the video is an explosion of childlike joy, like a romp in the playpen, with a tickle to the ribs.Buy the CD
