Manifestation

Afro House pioneer and father of Ancestral Soul, Boddhi Satva presents his new album, Manifestation, on BBE Music offshoot Batakari. With Manifestation Boddhi Satva brings to a close a trilogy of long players. Following 2012’s Invocation and 2016’s Transition, this new opus completes its first cycle of Ancestral Soul. This most conceptual of Afro House's producers offers an ode to lovers of the genre with a project that is both easy-listening and club-ready, with more urban sounds (R’n’B, Soul, Trap, Amapiano) intertwined with the frantic rhythms of large African cities such as Bamako, Dakar or Nairobi.

In the making of the album, Boddhi Satva has once again surrounded himself with artistic friends, each as talented as the next, joined by a shared need for music and magic in these dark times of global pandemic. Boddhi Satva has thus multiplied his already-prolific number of collaborators to almost thirty on this album. On this concept project Boddhi Satva set out to break the rules by showcasing atypical voices that will send listeners on a journey from the United States through South Africa, East and Central Africa as well as many European countries. Once an Afro House ‘enfant terrible’, it turns out Satva grew up to be a respectable boss, patiently mentoring new generations of producers.
