Elewana by Mark Gadson
Elewana translates to “harmony” from Swahili. Mark has teamed up with two exceptional musicians for this jazz-fusion work. They include California-based musician Sergio Minervini on piano, and fellow Maryland- based musician, John Thomas, on tenor saxophone. This work exhibits his trademark jazz-fusion style full of rich harmonies and melodic phrases, backed by energetic rhythms.
Elewana, was inspired by a 2021 trip to Tanzania and Kenya. “My time out on safari allowed me to experience and reflect upon the stunning beauty of the cultures and people, and reverence for the surrounding land and wildlife. During these difficult time around the world, I hope this work creates an uplifting feeling of hope and peace for the listener."
This song is dedicated to the beautiful people of Tanzania and Kenya, and Extraordinary Journeys and all their partners in Africa.
