Oracle - "Bushmusic" is a dance project
that incorporates ethnic traditional songs of various African tribal groups
into a dance format that falls into the World Music Range. The project
was initiated by EMI Music and combines the talent of DJ Static. P' s
dance production with that of Clear
Music owner and producer Robin Hogarth's World Music influences. The
original material was gathered and recorded by Robin throughout Southern
Africa and includes material and instruments never before recorded or
used . Some of the material includes the now almost extinct "Qwíí"
or Bushman tribe's, songs, chants and instruments. Although we say that
it falls into the World Music range, it can be best discribed as "Bushmusic",
as it incorporates different styles and types of music combining local
with western, tribal and ethnic music into dance and pop. Have
a listen to a lament of how the "Qwíí" where chased
out of there land and how they suffered and live far away from whence
they came from. This song is sung by a little "Bushman" boy
and is called "Bush Boy".
