Roots, Rock, Rama!

Uttal, Jai.

CD 2017

Disc one, Rama Sun, features more reggae influenced tracks, deeply steeped in earthy rhythms, hypnotic bass lines, jubilant horn charts, and soulful vocal harmonies. Disc two, Rama Moon, finds Uttal in an entirely different mood. Grounded in the gentle, lilting sway of Brazilian samba, it also touches on the pastoral splendor of the more acoustic tracks from the Beatles' White Album.
