Description
Boi Akih, the unique transcontinental duo of Moluccan-Dutch vocalist Monica Akihary and her Dutch partner, guitarist Niels Brouwer, achieve remarkable artistic symbiosis.
Their musical vocabulary is richly varied: from filigree detail work with the smallest motifs to wide-ranging melodic arcs with breakneck interval leaps in atonal passages to simple, harmonically clearly defined song structures - sometimes underpinned or overlaid with electro-acoustic samples and effects. And yet the emotion shines through. As Ian Patterson of Allabout Jazz has written theirs is "a tale of ingenuity, loss, resilience and, ultimately, of triumph."
