Fimber Bravo - Lunar Tredd '2021

Tracks list

Lunar Tredd – Fimber Bravo’s first album on Moshi Moshi since the
much acclaimed Con-Fusion – tells the tale. The highlife fusion of You
Can’t Control Me resonates in the wake of the global Black Lives Matters
protests. There is fire in these impactful clarion calls to resist oppression,
recognise strength in resilience and fight against the corruption of power.

Bravo’s been a constant collaborative force - as his time as leader of
20th Century Steel Band, as musical director of Steel ‘n’ Skin, and
appearances with everyone from Sun Ra Arkestra to Hot Chip, shows. Lunar Tredd
reflects the influence of the music handed down to him by
“ancestors” . Helped by an enviable cast of friends and
collaborators, Fimber has shifted those touchstones to create something that
sounds resolutely like the here and now.

Those friends that appear on Lunar Tredd, include Alexis Taylor of Hot Chip and
The Horrors’ Tom Furse; The Invisible drummer Leo Taylor and Senegalese
percussionist, Mamadou Sarr dropping in on rhythm duties, while there are also
appearances from Susumu Mukai aka Zongamin, the brilliant Kora player Kadialy
Kouyate, vocalist Cottie Williams, Vanishing Twin’s Catherine Lucas, and
production from Lapo Frost and Ghostpoet producer Shuta Shinoda. Some, like
Zongamin and Williams go way back with Fimber, other connections are newer, but
all have quickly become part of the London-based musician’s musical
family.

Indeed, Fimber never loses sight of where he’s come from on Lunar Tredd -
even as he looks to where he might go next. As a musician, he’s still
finding new creative peaks nearly 50 years after he began.
