James Iroha And The Masquerades - Monkey Peppersoup

Review by Olly Amorous

Monkey Peppersoup, the latest album by James Iroha and The Masquerades, is a delightful fusion of traditional African rhythms and modern pop music. The album features an eclectic mix of tracks that showcase the band's versatility and creativity.

From the catchy opening track "Monkey Dance" to the soulful ballad "My Love for You", the album takes listeners on a journey through different moods and emotions. The band's use of traditional African instruments such as the talking drum, shekere and kalimba adds a unique flavor to the music, while the use of modern production techniques ensures a contemporary sound.

One standout track is "Peppersoup", a high-energy dance track that blends African percussion with electronic beats. The song is a testament to the band's ability to fuse different genres seamlessly. "Mama Africa", another standout track, pays homage to the continent's rich cultural heritage, with lyrics that celebrate its diversity and beauty.
