Review: Boddhi Satva - Manifest Everything (BBE Music / Batakari)

Boddhi Satva is definitely his own man when it comes to producing music being the originator of 'Ancestral Soul' and at the same time, he likes  collaboration: so it's always a good time to 'Manifest Everything'.

We know from Boddhi's and Dino D'Santiago's 'Moda Boddhi' (see review HERE) that the Satva blend of Afro-house-soul in an 'Ancestral' way  is quite unique and this album confrims this.

In double gatefold format, there's 13 tracks that run from soul-pop to deep funky house ('In That Funk' stands out) together with collaborations with soul legend, Raheem DeVaughn plus Davi Lorenzo & Mr Luu, J'Something, Spilutu & Kaysha, Zaki Ibrahim, Jorge Bezerra and his mate from Pangea, Feddy da Stupid (see review HERE).

Sartva has been mates with long term fans of Masters At Work, Osunlade, Black Coffee

Louie Vega, Gilles Peterson’s BBC 6 Music and Worldwide crews.

Review: Boddhi Satva & Dino D'Santiago - Moda Boddhi (BBE Music)

Boddhi Satva is not only a workaholic, he does love a collaboration and on this new release, he's teamed up with the beautiful vocals of Dino D'Santiago who is from the Republic of Cabo Verde (that's Cape Verde to me).

As a tropical island off the coast of Africa, Cape Verde is known for as a holiday destination and home of their annual Jazz Festival.  'Moda Boddhi', is originally on the album 'Manifestation', certainly has a holiday vibe in the form of the new low slung 'Ancestral Neo Soul Mix' and the 'Ancestral Kindred Soul Mix'.

If you're just recovering from WOMAD(UK) Festival, the original 'world' mix with the traditonal sounds of the kora to Congolese Rumba, West African and Afro-Cuban beats is a pure joy: and there's an equally beautify instrumental version.

An absolute 100% contrast to Boddhi's last single, 'Girls' with dancehall's, Busy Signal and whilst I don't think I'm turning into 'Mr Snowflake', listen out for 'Moda Boddhi' to melt your/girls hearts.
