MAMA ODE – Tales and Patterns of the Maroons – 2LP – Limited Vinyl

MAMA ODE Tales and Patterns of the Maroons

2LP Limited to 500 Copies on Black Vinyl

Brothers Reginald Omas Mamode IV and Jeen Bassa come together as Mama Od on full length album Tales And Patterns Of The Maroons. At its core this is a classic hip hop format LP but have you ever heard Creole Sega Rap Roots music before?

Of Creole descent from a group of African islands that transiently have hosted many settlers, west African slaves, colonialists and the potentially indigenous East African-Malagache Maroons; the brothers have an inherent spirit of diversity that runs through their recordings. Musical influences consist of jazz, funk, blues and reggae to un-placeable but definite Afro-drum patterns, through to their Golden-Era-Rap vocal flows, which have a sure nod to ATCQ and Slum Village. The albums deep grooves overwhelmingly seed optimism, subscribing to a positive future drawn from historically multi-ethnic ancestral lines.
