Sayoko, ex-singer with Zelda teams up with Jun Nagami to form Ape. Her previous work was mainly reggae, but she seems to have picked up a load more influences in her absence, mainly from Africa. Nagami plays electric guitar, Sayako sings while Irama Inoura (ex-Sunsetz member) plays a dazzling array of percussion instruments. Includes traditional songs from Mali and Tanzania, Jamaica, Okinawa, plus Lee Perry and some great new songs. Slightly wackly, fun, spontanesous, joyful and utterly charming.

Former Zelda singer, strong melodies mixed with club and dub beats.
