WADI GAD 'Writing On The Wall'

New solo album for the legendary percussionist and fine-instrumentalist  Wadi Gad.  Pure roots & cultures - real ‘vintage’ roots – for this artist that played with and for all the most  important representatives of reggae music.  The vocal style of Wadi is a middle course between that of Pablo Moses, Bim Sherman and the last Mikey Dread and like such is vehicle of whispered melodies, with a style that we could define dismissed but deeply lyric.  Also the instrumentation that supports the vocal parts is not encumbering considering that the riddims produced by David ‘Hodge’ Lodge are purposely slight but nevertheless adapted to the style of Wadi.  Thus, the conscious singer is in a position to give life to attractive songs, with pondered texts of not indifferent quality.  Unfortunately the already cited productive Hodge thought well (or rather, badly) of including in the album a lot of remix in electric key just to extend the broth but would have done well to leave them out a di work considered the meager quality of the same.  However, how I said, the pieces of Wadi work and between everything here I would like to recall the attractive ones ‘THE’ll drinks praising Jah’, ‘Things People I Give’ (with a typical base of the style of Lucky Dube) and ‘Mystery’.  Capable Wadi, a confirmation
