about

The lead single from Forward Back: Volume 1 is Yellow Flowers. The intricate balance of the concept is immediately evident, as is the seamless interplay between this group of friends on a common journey. Steel drums (with a history of their own) open the scene, as Simoné Mosley's vocal drifts in like a divine breeze. The rhythm is startling, a perfect balance of Summers vision to bring the ancient into the modern. While there is rich history at the core, this is less a study piece and more a modern dance of joy. Yellow Flowers is devoted to Oshun, the river orisha and Yoruba equivalent of Woman in all her forms. She is associated with water, purity, fertility, love, and sensuality, and is considered one of the most powerful of all orishas.
