5.0 out of 5 stars
Geoff Wilbur's Renegade Newsletter, April 16, 2002

This review is from: 47 Uma (Audio CD)
Gail Baker's vocals soar, supported by more-than-amply-happy music from the rhythm section of Mike Friedman and Steve Rouse. Sometimes the music is folky, at other times with more of an island beat. 'African Dream' adds a little safari rhythm, and 'This Small Town' features bluesy guitarwork. Clearly, 47UMa takes the term 'world music' seriously. Well, maybe not 'seriously,' as this disc overflows with energy and fun. This group has an ideal sound and personality for summer festivals.

upbeat, energetic world music, April 23, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: 47 Uma (Audio CD)
This CD is a refreshing recording with plenty of positive, upbeat, energetic songs. Any fan of reggae or Caribbean music will love this CD. The lush vocals work perfectly with the uplifting guitar lines and grooving rhytms. The song Wheel of Life is a catchy tune with memorable lyrics that are fun to sing along to. African Dream introduces rhythms with African origins and talks about a world of peace and harmony where cultures come together in a spirit of sharing and cooperation. And my favorite tune, Karibuni, has a beautiful subtlety with its smooth, dreamy soundscape. The music reminds me at times of Bob Marley meets Kate Bush. Highly recommended!!
