Balaphonic – Organic Matters

Manchester-based percussionist, producer Danny Ward, who you may know by the alias Moodymanc, is back with a new project under his Balaphonic moniker.

Specifically designed to pay homage to Danny’s affection for Afro-Cuban and Brazilian music, his Balaphonic project has just the kind of rich, lush, intricate rhythms and expressions you’d expect from a well-seasoned musician approaching a project close to his heart.

From the sublime piano progressions of Dew Drop, showered with syncopated percussion, to the bucolic, earthy textures of Balaventurers, a wonderfully cosy jazz-folk track that feels rustic and lived in, this EP is rewarding and dense with musical nutrients for the discerning listener.
