Gemini Soul – Dark Skin Babies/The Movement

“Dark
Skin Babies : The Movement” is a two CD set, which contains 20 tracks
of non-stoppable experimental jazz funk-fusion at its best. “Dark Skin
Babies : The Movement” features three cover songs by some revolutionary
artists such as MeShell Ndegeocello’s Al-Falaq 113; Herbie Hancock’s
Chameleon; and Prince’s All The Critics Love You In New York. With all
songs produced, arranged and composed by Andre Ajamu Akinyele,
bandleader and bassist, this marks as their fifth album. This is Gemini
Soul’s most political and social conscience collection to date.

“Dark
Skin Babies : The Movement” is the follow-up to the 2008 release The
Nefertiti Xperience. “The Nefertiti Xperience” reached #37 on the
Amazon.com “Bestselling Hot New & Future Music Releases” in the
Jazz Fusion genre. “The Nefertiti Xperience” received radio airplay
worldwide including Bay Area’s own KKUP 91.5 FM – Cupertino; KZSU 90.1
FM – Stanford University and Smooth Jazz 103.1 WLOQ FM – Orlando, FL.

Gemini
Soul, which consists of Andre Ajamu Akinyele – bass (Ah-jah-moo +
Ah-kin-yay-lay), Jon O’Bergh – keyboards, Andrew Foster – percussion
and Alex Marks – drums, have expanded once again by adding special
guest Waahid Jones on saxophone and additional percussion. Ajamu
Akinyele states “I feel this album will be appreciated by lovers of
real music without boundaries…artists and likeminded individuals who
think outside the box.”

Disc 1 has more of an experimental Latin
jazz fusion flavor with songs like Reparation, Dark Skin Babies : New
Vibe, and Finger Print; whereas Disc 2 has more of a 70’s jazz funk
vibe with songs like Right On, Barack & Michelle, and The Movement
Pts. 1 & 2. Don’t be surprised if you have one fist in the air by
the end of the album. Gemini Soul’s “Cyber Jazz” is here to stay and
they continue to redefine jazz for a new generation. Gemini Soul’s
music isn’t your typical jazz; it’s Cyber Jazz!
