Marcha Ward - Manuska

Review by Sumit Kanaujia

The album Manuska by Marcha Ward is a delightful blend of world music and jazz that takes the listener on a journey through different cultures and emotions. The album features a range of instruments such as the saxophone, flute, and percussion, which are used to create a rich and vibrant sound.

The opening track, "Manuska," sets the tone for the album with its pulsating rhythm and soulful saxophone solos. The track "Tango del Fuego" adds a touch of Latin flair to the album, while "Gypsy Nights" takes the listener on a journey through the Balkans with its haunting melodies and driving rhythms.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "African Dream," which features a beautiful flute melody and percussion that transports the listener to the heart of Africa. The album closes with "Bittersweet," a melancholy ballad that showcases Marcha Ward's emotive saxophone playing.

Summary by Sumit Kanaujia
