Banana Leaf Paradise

 


If you read some discogs reviews of Saphileaum's albums, one hears an almost pleading call for a vinyl release of his already quite extensive output. Previously Saphileaum Releases were only MP3 Files or recently rather pretty well done masters on cassette.

Mule Musiq and Slow Life now have insight and so brings us the still quite young 2024 already has two vinyl releases by the Georgian Andro Gogibedashvili. He has been refining his sound since 2018 more and more close to perfection. We’re listening to “Banana Leaf Paradise,” which is what this is supposed to be about 7 tracks and 36 minutes of meditative, exotic and calming groove music full of organic percussion and tropical field recordings.
As you can follow on Andro's Instagram, the good man also gives workshops for children to find their own stories, touches with sound and rhythm.
Very likeable, clearly.

But the 36 minutes are over very quickly and you find yourself in front of the player to press the repeat button, or the vinyl again to turn around.

Beautiful Artwork too, by Santi Uribe.
