Description
Winner of BBC Radio 3 World Music Award 2008.

Soul Science by Justin Adams and (Gambian Griot), Juldeh Camara, has attracted a lot of media attention since it’s release in October 2008. Since then they have been touring the world covering venues as far as Russia and Australia. Soul Science is the result of a meeting of two worlds , an Afro-Blues shakedown.

Soul Science won the Culture Crossing category at the BBC Radio 3 World Music Awards and received rave reviews everywhere:-
"...a real landmark in African flavoured blues...it just feels right" fRoots
“Unquestionably the cross-cultural album of the year” – Independent on Sunday
“…raw and gutsy” – The Telegraph
“…this is no dry experiment but music played with real soul” - The Sun 4****
“…pounding percussion and driving guitar with equally stirring and virtuoso fiddle solos and rousing vocals” – The Guardian 4****
“An album to make the word fusion respectable again” – The Evening Standard 4****
“…Camara’s obsessive fiddling and Adams’ wide guitar shapes worked a treat…” – Financial Times 4****
“ …it is difficult not to imagine Bo (Diddley) himself playing "Ya Ta Kaya" or "Sanakubay" on some 1950’s package tour” – The Times 4****
"...this is an exceptional effort" - Songlines 5*****
"Admirers of Tinariwen and Ali Farka Toure should find this irrestible" - Uncut 4****

Soul Science is far from a purist piece , it has gritty rock and groove throughout. It uses the ancient Soul Sciences of scale and Rhythm to create a 21st Century Afro Blues.
