The CD combines 8 original recordings with remixes The Latin Project have produced artists Bebel Gilberto, Incognito and Ceci Bastida, all put together in their unique tradition-meets-electronica approach of fat beats blended with live musicianship.

 We've been trying to contact TwinSpirit for some time now. Ever since we heard the snippets and album tracks on Myspace. Needless to say, we managed to catch up with her recently. Not only that, but the phone conversation I had with her was quite enjoyable. This woman sings, produces, and lo and behold, she's a thriving entrepreneur too! Need a website designed? Check out TwinSpirit for that. Ahem, back to the music.

I'm pleased to introduce you to one of Atlanta's hottest singers by way of song. TwinSpirit has sent us the track titled "Song About Nothing" so we can share with our audience. Don't let the title fool you, there's a message here and I am guessing it will be well received. So download, share, enjoy , and be sure to reach out to my homegirl via the information below. As always, let us know if you vibe to this.

Akoma Aya est un duo féminin de la scène Néo soul parisienne composé d'amies d'enfance et artistes exceptionnelles, Mayi, poète/slammeuse/chanteuse et Sissy, chanteuse/choriste.
Oui, leur musique caresse l'âme et les tympans de chaque personne qui l'écoute. Une caresse. Une claque aussi. Une claque audiovisuelle et émotionnelle. Ce duo Slam/Soul est une véritable alchimie, sa musique est imprégnée de beauté, de sincérité et d'authenticité.
Eté 2008, c'est sur la scène de l'Etage que nous la découvrons. Première claque, elle est visuelle; Mayi et Sissy sont tout simplement belles. Elles apparaissent telles deux reines d'Afrique, deux reines urbaines qui interprètent leur art avec leurs tripes. Deuxième claque: auditive. Leur musique ne ressemble à aucune autre : authenticité, originalité et technicité. Elles chantent ''Guéris", nous sommes conquis. Les yeux humides, nous venons de prendre une troisième claque. Emotionnelle. C'est sur le titre "Art Organique'' que nos larmes ont coulé. La musique d'Akoma Aya parle aux âmes. Le message est bien passé.

Le duo prépare actuellement leur premier album et recherche un label. En attendant, je vous invite (et vous conseille vivement même) à découvrir certains de leurs titres comme le très troublant "Poésie" ou encore le très poignant "Voyage d'une Flamme" (Et ça se passe là : http://akomaaya.skyrock.com).
Akoma Aya se produit régulièrement sur scène, toutes les dates sont sur leur space : www.myspace.com/akomaaya.
