Honey Wine, the collaborative album by Jeremy Danneman and Sophie Nzayisenga, showcases a beautiful blend of jazz and traditional Rwandan music. The album is a refreshing mix of Danneman's saxophone and Nzayisenga's inanga, a traditional Rwandan harp-like instrument.
The tracks on the album are a celebration of life, love, and the beauty of nature. The opening track, "Honey Wine," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its upbeat tempo and catchy melody. The album also features slower, more contemplative tracks such as "Inanga Dream" and "Mama Africa."
The musicianship on Honey Wine is exceptional. Danneman's saxophone solos are soulful and melodic, while Nzayisenga's inanga playing is delicate and intricate. The two musicians complement each other perfectly, creating a sound that is both unique and captivating.
