Includes unlimited streaming of Sad Nile
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
Philophon's house band The Polyversal Souls is back with two classic songs from the back catalog.
The first one is Sad Nile, taken from the band's debut Invisible Joy (PH33001) from 2015, but in a re-mastered version which added some extra fire to the hypnotic rhythm and the lovely melancholic ethopian melody.
The second one is Florence Adooni's catchy highlife twister Mam Pe'ela Su'ure as an instrumental. The melody is passionately played on the flute by Philophon artist Jimi Tenor.
