Djabe: Update 2LP \u2013 GR 135-1
\n45 RPM, heavy weight vinyl, half-speed cut
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

High-End album playback – Audiofile Szalon, Budapest, 2nd<\/sup> March<\/span><\/h4>\n

One of the highlights of the Hungarian HiFi Show 2018 was Djabe\u2019s Witchi Tai To. This album, known for its legendary sounding, reborn in the best possible analogue format. Now, this technique reached the album Update: manufactured at Abbey Road Studios, London by the world-famous mastering engineer Miles Showell, the half-speed cut master discs were made from remastered analogue master tapes. For the best audio quality, he chooses 45rpm technology.<\/span>
\nFirst renewed in 2001, the album Update won the eMeRTon Award right after its premiere in May – the professional jurors awarded the World Music Band of the Year to Djabe. This great success did not peak in only the award, as this is the album that brought the first foreign invitations for the band. Since then, Djabe performed in nearly 50 countries, for the joy of the audience.<\/span>
\nAfter the 2001 reformation the band got a new soloist: Ferenc Kov\u00e1cs (trumpet, violin). Next to Andr\u00e1s Sipos (percussion) arrived the young and talented Szil\u00e1rd Banai (drums) and made an excellent percussive duo. A position never existed before was filled by Zolt\u00e1n Kov\u00e1cs (keyboard). Besides Andr\u00e1s Sipos two more remained from the old line-up: Tam\u00e1s Barab\u00e1s (bass guitar) and Attila \u00c9gerh\u00e1zi (guitar). Ferenc Muck (saxophone) left Djabe at the end of 2000. Between 1997-2000 Djabe\u2019s sounding was vastly determined by saxophone, and so it had to be filled \u2013 and none other did but the Englishman Ben Castle, who expanded the band\u2019s instrumental portfolio by his flute and bass clarinet. At Update\u2019s recordings the Moroccan vocalist-percussionist Sa\u00efd Tichiti also appears, with his characteristically Moroccan folk music of gembri and vocal added an exotic flavor to the composition First Step.<\/span>
\nThe music gained complexity compared to the world music-dominated Djabe of 1996-2000 and made a turn towards jazz, largely because of Tam\u00e1s Barab\u00e1s\u2019 s compositions, most of them co-composed with Attila \u00c9gerh\u00e1zi.<\/span>
\nBesides the eMeRTon Award, the CD was also nominated for the Hungarian Music Award, showing the band was still largely popular in its home country. Originally, the album released on casette and CD. In 2011 a new surround mix was made and released in single and double DVD-Audio versions (the second DVD contained the 2001 gig in Szolnok, Hungary in 5.1 mixing, and numerous documentaries and TV appearances). The 2011 Deluxe Edition was the same stereo mix of 2001, because the band was so satisfied with Tam\u00e1s Barab\u00e1s\u2019 s audio engineer job and did not want to touch it.<\/span><\/p>\n
