This 13 track CD* is the second offering of DEBU
and further shows the creativity and diversity of the group's music. This is
the follow up album to
Drunk With Love (2003).
Makin Mabuk (Even More Drunk)
displays a wide rage of eclectic music sounds. The songs show the further
evolution of the group's music with very rich and expressive songs. The
first single, Mazhab Cinta (The Path of Love), expresses the group's
main focus (a life focused on love for the One and only Creator) with an
upbeat reggae like cadence and catchy clarinet/bass solo.
On the first single, "Mazhab Cinta" (The Path of
Love), DEBU incorporates an upbeat reggae feel as they sing about the
priority of Divine Love as the basis for our existence and spiritual
transformation.
DEBU's only English song released
to date, Don't Turn Back, is an epic like poem of a spiritual
journey told in the form an upbeat rap song while staying faithful to their
unique world music sound. This is a song that was originally written in New
Mexico and
performed in the early 90's by Shaykh Fattaah.
The songs Pesta Asyik (Joyous Celebration)
and Tawanan Kegembiraan (Prisoner of Joy) again (like My Heart
Calls out to You of the album Drunk with Love) borrow their musical
influence from the group's brief stay amongst the Bugis people in Sulawesi
Selatan, Indonesia.
The group even surprises with a heavy bass/rock
like intro for the track Satu Lagu Lagi (Sing One More Song) while singing
in unison, requesting the mercy of the Merciful to fill their hearts.
Other tracks like track 9, Angin Sepoi-Sepoi (Gentle
Breeze) sung in duet, and track 8, Mabuk, Mabuk (Drunk, Drunk),
draw heavily on Turkish influences with the use of the saz and oud along
with the percussive sound of the tar and dumbek.
The CD package also includes a video compact disc
(VCD) of behind the scenes footage making of the video Mazhab Cinta and
interviews in Indonesian. A DVD version with
English subtitles will be available soon.
*The cassette contains tracks 1-11
only. |
