MP3 Hokshila - Unite
11 MP3 Songs
WORLD: World Beat, WORLD: Reggae
Details:
Released in 2003, Unite is the very first acoustic street busking style Hokshila''s solo album.
The whole album is, by its very nature, very special and diverse. Written in different countries and influenced by various cultures all 11 songs cover an outstanding range of ideas, emotions and feelings that obliges us to think differently and jump out of our framed mind.
“Hokshila’s music is so different from anything I’ve ever heard. It has that reggae feel to it too. Lyrics are deep; they have passion and great meaning. Phenomenal voice. There is something you call magic inside his music too. Something that makes peoples dream, something that inspires them and allows them to feel.” -- Velena, US
“Music cross boundaries between different cultures. And there is no difference for me what culture one belongs to when one can connect in music. Black or white, all unite…” -- Hokshila
-----------------------------------------------------------
Always finding it hard to be like everybody else Hokshila Andrade stayed true to his heart following the way that might seem way unusual. His round-the world travelling experiences and busking on the streets in different parts of the world since he was seventeen made key influence to his music style and made it incredibly unique.
While living among locals Hokshila observed not only different instrumental techniques but also he faced values, lifestyle and social-political problems of the countries he lived in. Musician got experience that none school could ever teach: night street jams with local youth in Soweto township (South Africa), percussion workshops and capoeira angola sessions in Bahia (Brasil) where Hokshila bought bunch of drums for locals so they could jam together, or even busking on the streets of Stockholm (Sweden), Oslo (Norway), Copenhagen (Denmark) and making a living of it.
“I have learned to LOVE music. Can you point me a school that has this subject on the list?” said Hokshila.
In the year 2003 Hokshila released his very first acoustic street busking style solo album ''Unite'' and got reviews mostly stating how different, colourful and warm his music was:
“Hokshila’s music is so different from anything I’ve ever heard. It has that reggae feel to it too. Lyrics are deep; they have passion and great meaning. Phenomenal voice. There is something you call magic inside his music too. Something that makes peoples dream, something that inspires them and allows them to feel.” (Velena, US).
Afterwards, Hokshila released:
Babylon D.C. - 2005
Fight For Africa - 2006
