Product Description
Album Description
BRUCE PARRY, STAR OF THE GROUNDBREAKING BBC SERIES 'TRIBE' AND THE FORTHCOMING BBC/DISCOVERY CHANNEL SERIES 'AMAZON', HAS TEAMED UP WITH SOME OF THE MUSIC WORLD'S BRIGHTEST STARS TO CREATE A FUNDRAISING ALBUM FOR SURVIVAL INTERNATIONAL, THE HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANIZATION FOR TRIBAL PEOPLES.
Bruce has worked with producer Martin Terefe on the album that includes KT Tunstall, will.i.am (Black Eyed Peas), Johnny Borrell (Razorlight), Mystery Jets, Jason Mraz, Yusuf Islam, Hot Chip, the Go! Team and Mike Oldfield. In addition, Guy Berryman, Jonas Bjerre (MEW), Magne F. (A-ha) and Terefe have formed a new band specially for the CD called Apparatjik, and recorded a track called 'Ferreting' which is featured on the end credits of BBC2 show AMAZON. 'Ferreting' has already been played on the radio including on Jo Whiley's Radio 1 show.
Every track on the album is exclusive, and has been written especially for this album.
AMAZON/TRIBE - Songs for Survival is a double album. CD 1 is entitled 'Amazon' and features songs inspired by the issues affecting tribal people and our planet, as well as Bruce Parry's new series of the same name, shown on BBC2. CD2, entitled 'Tribe', is a collection of dance/experimental songs by the Go! Team, Hot Chip, Blue States, Roger Sanchez and more all of which all are written around field recordings made by Bruce when he lived with indigenous people during the making of his hugely popular BBC show Tribe. The sounds you can hear include drumming from initation ceremonies with the Babongo tribe in Gabon, war chants from the Kombai of Papua New Guinea, hymns from the island tribe of Anuta in the Solomon islands and reed playing from the rainforest of Borneo from the Penan tribe.
Bruce Parry has spent years immersing himself in some of the world's most remote tribal cultures. His first hand experience of the threats so many tribal people face to their very survival lay behind his determination to help them. He said today, 'I've got so much from my time with tribal people that I really wanted to do something for them in return. Being able to bring together this fantastic group of musicians seemed like a perfect way of doing that - and it's been wonderful to see how they've been inspired, in turn, by some of the incredible tribal music we've recorded.'
