African Tapestries - Temba

Take an orchestral journey through Southern Africa with Hennie Bekker's unique African soundscapes

Hennie Bekker, multi-platinum-selling recording artist and master composer brings you Temba, the first album in his unique African Tapestries series. Bekker takes the listener on a journey as they go from stomping their feet to a groovy Soweto rhythm, to an orchestral journey over the Okavango Delta, as if getting a birds eye view. An eclectic mix of instrumental, relaxation, and world music, Temba showcases Hennie Bekker's talent as a multi-genre artist, giving the listener a truly African experience through unique, original compositions interfused with the majestic sounds of African nature and wildlife. Originally released in 1995, this particular (2005) edition of the album was remastered from the original recording, with slight changes made to the mix on the first song, The Heart of Africa.

African Tapestries is Hennie Bekker s unique, multi-platinum selling series of African inspired albums. The series is an expedition of World Music interwoven with the sounds and rhythms from Bekker's roots. Bekker draws on his experiences growing up in Africa and demonstrates a unique ability to fuse ambient, New Age, relaxation and World Music together, allowing the listener to experience Africa through sound. Inspired by the mystery and glory of Africa, African Tapestries has defined Hennie Bekker as an artist, and is a truly unique collection of music, thought evoking and richly cinematic in nature."
