Ashram from Ashram by Levi Love

The title track on side A is where you hear a complete Eurocentric interpretation of Levi’s musical ideas; it is for the electronic measured, perfect for warm-up and home consumption. The unusually haunting synth follows a carefully constructed melody, which is in fact taken from a struggle song, ‘Asinamali’, that he sung with his father as a child. The bassline reveals the baritone layer of the song by using long notes to create a comfortable padding. The irony here is unmistakable, turning a struggle song against apartheid and Western ills by using distinctly Western elements and tools. A musical oxymoron perhaps.
