Michael Leonhart & Avramina 7 - Dreams Of An Aquarian (Music Video on Youtube)
michael leonhart is a songwriter, a producer, and a musician on truth & soul records - a brooklyn based indie label that specializes in contemporary funk and soul. YEAH YEAH! michael has worked with some amazing talent across multiple genres: mos def, brian eno, steely dan (those guys are picky), david byrne and has worked on over 50 truth and soul recordings. bottom line is that this guy is fucking talented.
the avramina 7 are a group of NYC studio musicians who have played with el michels affair and tv on the radio (to name a couple).
what they've done together is create a concept album "that would meld the styles of Bollywood funk scores, 60's psychedelic rock, and the mythical storytelling of artists like Peter, Paul, & Mary and Donovan." as far as i can tell, they did a great job - you can for sure hear the bollywood funk! it's reallllll funky.
here is one of my favorite tracks off of the album:
