Ahead of Dublin-based musician and singer Kiruu’s album release on August 24th, two tracks have been shared.
‘Tibet’ (released 17/08/2019) is an energetic ska/reggae track written in response to the 2008 unrest in Tibet. It features a harmonizing wind section accompanied by a rhythmic accordion, as well as some occasion touches of the melodica. The song talks about activism and resistance.
‘Fading Pain’ (released 21/08/2019) is a thumping rumba and swing combination. With an orchestral intro, soaring trumpet solos and subtle guitar work, the track is a hip-mover which moves between Spanish rumba rhythm verses and a manouche style chorus. Its lyrical theme is recovery and recuperation.
Both tracks are taken from Kiruu’s first full-length LP ‘Super Feo Express’ and were recorded at Hellfire Studios, Dublin. The LP will be released August 24th on digital platforms, and on CD and Vinyl with a live launch concert in Lost Lane, Dublin on September 24th.
A “world fusion” offering, the album follows in the footsteps of Manu Chao and Paul Simon, exploring a variety of genres and styles through the medium of different languages, namely English, Spanish, Swahili with sprinklings of French and Irish as well.
Kiruu music is available on itunes, Spotify, Facebook, Twitter, Instragram, Soundcloud, Bandcamp, Youtube
