Jowee Omicil Love Matters CD

On Love Matters there are African rhythms, melodies by Bach and Mozart, tinges of Thelonious Monk, a Venezuelan lullaby, Martiniquais songs, hints of the Orient and even Asia, the memory of an Englishman in New York, of Haitian Rara, Jamaican beats, flashes of funk à la Miles Davis, the rapture of gospel and of course, exclamations in Omicilian ‘BasH!’ style, as well as a rapper’s verve.

All cleverly mixed together. You might think that this brand of music has no identity since it encompasses so many different things. But in fact, it simply mirrors who Jowee Omicil is, like a self-portrait in motion. And how could it be anything else, coming from a man with such an appetite for life and fresh discoveries?
