Editorial Reviews
Zebula Avenue is a seven-piece world music band that writes and performs a global blend of traditional and modern melodies. They are a unique blend of
3-part female harmonies, guitars and mandolin, backed by rich polyrhythms from around the world. Award-winning vocalist and rhythm guitarist Gail Baker penned most of the songs performed by Zebula Avenue. The signature vocal sound of Zebula Avenue is based on the amazing, 3-1/2 octave range of Maureen Honoré, bringing Creole and Panamanian influences to the band. Also on vocals is Maggie McCabe, whose Celtic background and adept mandolin playing adds a high-end sweetness. Bassist
Greg Nance brings his Detroit jazz fusion experience. Lead guitarist and artist James Niemi is a proud life-long member of the Ho-Chunk nation and has been on a continued quest for a varied and harmonious life
experience. Mahindi Masai, perhaps one of Detroit's most versatile and engaging percussionists, adds an
exciting mixture of rhythms from his experience as a folklorist/percussionist of various traditions throughout Africa and the African Diaspora. Well-known Detroit drummer Sandy Lovely rounds out the rhythm section.

wow !!!!,

This review is from: Life Will Be Fine (Audio CD)
Wow! This is a must-have CD. I actually heard this band live and they are quite an experience. Zebula Avenue sounds like no other band you have probably every heard before. It's quite something how this band has managed to blend the styles of music they create, Motown, African-derived rhythms, and rock. Yeah, I know what you may be thinking, but it's not all just thrown together non-sensibly. It's blended and balanced naturally like fine robust coffees. The vocal arrangements are awesome and the bass player and drummer are off the hook. The percussionist is other-worldly and the lead vocal and lead guitar work is stellar. If you're a world music fan, this CD is a must have.

Normally, "world" music is not my cup of tea, unless it's Classical. But I was steered to this collection and never regretted it. Superb!
