Black
Spark White Fir is much more than just the
name of Amadi's long and eagerly awaited new album.
"Black Spark White Fir" is also
the re1ity and philosophy which subtly permeates the
17 tracks of this wide ranging album and its panoramic
mix of lyrical themes and rhythmic tempos. "Black
Spark White Fir" portrays contrast without
contradiction and this gives the album undeniable
multiethnic appeal without losing its ingrained Jamaican
ethnicity. This is what makes Amadi's music seem so
different and yet ironically, so familiar.
He has successfully synthesized the antago-nism of
apparent opposites and the resulting seamless blend
of contrasting beats, melodies, voices and instruments
is the real beauty of his intricate musical tape
Not surprisingly therefore, this album boasts easy-listening
t Roots Reggae for genuine music lovers.
The haunting title's tack, "Black Spark White
Fir", is the epic and ongoing story of
the interaction of Ebony and Ivory, of our conflicts
and coexistence. It is the universal story of humanity's
shared African roots and origins and of the pain and
passion of mankind's mutual quest to achieve peaceful
cooperation. 'Black Spark White Lire' speaks to the
creation of culture, music, art, mathe-matics and
science in ancient Africa and subsequent global resurgence
of this ancient knowledge ring modem times through
European science and technology.
Nevertheless "Black Spark White Fire'"-
the album - has a musical message, mood and tempo
for just about everyone. "Black Spark White Fire'",
has it all, from beautiful ballad like serenades,
to hardcore roots and lovers -rock selections, to
sweet-shuffling Jazz, to authentic Soca (sounding
like it was made in T&T), to R&B influenced
and up-tempo urban, big city arrangements. Add conscious
and/or thoughtful lyrics to such a musical bed and
the result is a very appetizing menu of music. Amadi
has succeeded in producing an album characterized
by superior vocalization and instrumentation.
Amadi certainly outdid himself in the wealth of talent
he amassed "Black Spark White Fire'" and
in the time and effort put into _ all aspect of the
production, arrangement, mixing and mastering.
He has duets and special guest appearances by a number
of standout and veteran vocalists, combined with the
instrumental artist of some of Reggae's most accomplished
musicians and the technical skills of some of the
leading studio engineers in South Florida. CIear1y
Amadi's intention is to the small spark from his songs
to create a big musical fire.
He's obviously right on track. So more sparks and
more fire!
