Recreation

Zap Mama has a plan. This multicultural musical entity led by Afropean vocalist and songwriter Marie Daulne is sending everyone on vacation, and the first and only item on the itinerary is ReCreation. In addition to a rhythm section rooted in a rich Brazilian vibe, ReCreation also boasts a guest list of high-profile vocalists including Bilal, G. Love, actor Vincent Cassel (La Haine, Ocean's Twelve) and several others. The album offers everything the title suggests - a time to make a break, to renew, and to play. "That moment when you are relaxing and enjoying yourself," says Daulne, "is the perfect moment to create a new person within yourself - to heal yourself and let go of all the negative aspects of your life. In those times when you relax, you recreate yourself."
