Ábàse - Menidaso (My Hope) (Single)

Founder of Budapest's Felabration and a renowned session musician and producer for the likes of Wayne Snow, Dele Sosimi, Pat Thomas and Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange, Ábàse (AKA Szabolcs Bognár) has found widespread praise from the likes of The Guardian, BBC Radio 6, Jazz FM, Soulection, KEXP and Complex.

Mixed by legendary engineer Russell Elevado (D'Angelo, Erykah Badu) and releasing on his Analogue Foundation label, his new single 'Menidaso' features the Twi vocal talents of Ghanaian singer & percussionist King Owusu. The track comes paired with the announcement of Àbáse's forthcoming album 'Awakening', which brings together musicians from Hungary, Germany, Ghana and Australia for a moving project with a unifying, global outlook.

‘Menidaso’, combined with lead single ‘Destruction Everywhere’, perhaps best highlights Szabolcs’ worldview and efforts to bridge creative ideas and cultural viewpoints. A bold fusion of spiritual jazz and afrofunk, Menidaso features the Twi vocal and driving percussion of King Owusu, set against a conversational horn arrangement, exploratory soli sections and an irresistible groove building into blues-laced solos.
