Harambe Discography of CDs

Harambe albums White Elephant Recordings are pleased to present the debut album from one of the hottest young live bands in the UK - Harambe. Steeped in the traditions of classic soul of the 70s, these soulboys brew up a heady stew of original soul and funk which eschews the straitjacketed robo-beats and over-production of the current crop of RnB stars in favour of old-school grit and power with a modern edge. Their music seems to conjure up the spirits of the great soul singers of the past - combining the smooth sensuality of Marvin Gaye, the urgency of Gil Scott Heron, the loose-limbed funk of the Meters and the melody of Stevie Wonder - yet at the same time pointing to the future, with its edgy, layered beats and flashes of electronic weirdness. This is authentic soul for a greyed-out world, played with passion and energy by a band who are not afraid of squaring up to their heritage and dragging it kicking and screaming into the 21st century. Vive le Fonque. Vive Harambe. Amen to that. STOP PRESS: 04/02/07White Elephant Recordings is pleased to announce that the long-awaited follow-up to Roots is NOW AVAILABLE. The new album, is entitled 'Testify' and sees the band getting dirtier and funkier than ever!! See cdbaby /cd/harambe2 for more info.

And the songwriting has stepped up a gear on this album, too. This time round, the rhythms are as syncopated, the melodies as seductive and memorable as ever, but Clews' lyrics are more focussed and vitriolic, and tracks such as 'Demons' and 'Testify' see him taking on political targets. In spirit, this is an album that pays eloquent homage to the classic political soul albums ...

Harambe discography Exploding onto the UK music scene in 2002, Harambe began life as a loose affiliation of musicians centred around founder member and bassist Karl Clews.
