Empty Boat formed in 2004 when an unusual crew of professional musicians were brought together as part of an awareness raising campaign by Poo Productions.
The band members are as eclectic as the sounds they have produced. "They come from all different disciplines and have a taste for exotic and unlikely combinations" says Dean Brodrick the founder and composer of the band.
Many of the artists, such as Brazilian singer Monica Vasconcelos and tuba and bass guitar player Gideon Juckes are established stars in their own right. Others, such as Dean's seven-year old daughter Madalaine, who sings the Amazonian tune Mamãe Iemanja, are just embarking on their musical journey. The unique sound of Empty Boat combines African rhythms and multiple vocals with Latin percussion, jazz and Brazilian harmonies.
Dean Brodrick began composing the music for Empty Boat's new album Waitless 14 years ago when he travelled through Africa playing music in small villages and townships. The original idea was that the music could be played anywhere with no need for amps or electricity. The inspiration for the lyrics were water and sanitation and the songs, which are partly in Portuguese, explore these pertinent themes.
Enjoy!!
I think your post will be the eternal classic.
