clap! clap!: tayi bebba

After storming the gates with his warmly-received Tambacounda EP, Clap! Clap! returns to Black Acre to deliver his debut album. Tayi Bebba is a conceptual work that manages to balance a highly cerebral concept with making some good old-fashioned bangers. Tayi Bebba is an album tour of an imagined island; each song representing a location, event or ritual. Sonically, it's a fast-moving charge across the soundscape, fusing field recordings and found sound with incredibly surgical drum programming. Flavors of house, footwork and hip-hop punctuate your migration with a very specific sound palate, giving this amazing work a cohesive feel. Clap! Clap! is long-time jazz player Cristiano Crisci, also known in electronic circles as Digi G'Alessio. With cross-genre accolades and support spanning the globe, he is already established as one of Italy's brightest talents. A multi-instrumentalist with a long history of collaborations with Crookers/Khalab/Kae, and more.
