Shafiq Husayn, one third of the musical collective known as SA-RA, released his first solo album En' A-Free-Ka via Plug Research this past October. For those familiar with the innovative & futuristic sounds of the group, you will not be disappointed with En'A-Free-Ka. Content wise, Shafiq is ethereal in comparison to the groups more wild and freaky themes. Delivering messages of a free spirit: love, justice & freedom over African rhythms combined with layered synthesizers, live horns and strings, you are in for an audio experience. Get it here or here. Support the artist. Check out two of my favorites. The drums on "Rebel Soldier" are crazy, and "Changes" is so melodic.
