A cat that's been trying to put music from Maldives on the map for over 20 years finally steps out with his first solo album which honors his roots in the rocking 60's, the sounds of the islands that make up his homeland and the sounds going on around him. With a gestation and genealogy like that, you'd be surprised if a percussion driven ‘debut' set like this wasn't something special. Once you hurdle the language barrier, easy rocking in any language is easy rocking--and when it has a flow like this, it's easy to get in rhythm with it. In what might be the opening shot at making the Maldives more than a tropical honeymoon paradise, this is music adults can party to until you don't want to pay the baby sitter any more overtime bonuses. Check it out.
