The Golden Voice of Africa: waar de Ghanees Orlando Julius vorig jaar op Noorderzon een grote comeback maakte, is het dit jaar de beurt aan Pat Thomas. Thomas is een legende uit de highlife traditie (Afrikaanse muziek met westerse invloeden) en claimde ooit terecht de titel ‘The Golden Voice of Africa’. Het highlife-genre herken je aan het jazzy geluid van blaasinstrumenten en de vele gitaren die je ook zeker terugvindt op de nieuwe plaat van Thomas. Hij dook met oude muzikale vrienden, zoals afrobeat-drummer Tony Allen en gitarist Ebo Taylor, de studio in. En hoe kan het ook anders, deze gouden combinatie levert een plaat op met heerlijke opzwepende highlife, funk en afrobeat.
