Abigail Washburn & The Shanghai Restoration Project - Afterquake 震后

                                  Hope & Revival

It's not a pure rap/hip hop album and you can consider it as a fushion of hip hop, country and electronia,and might call it abstract hip-hop or something...whatever. Afterquake was a record after Wenchuan Eartghquake in 2008, it is produced by country muscian Abigail Washburn from the U.S. and Dave Laing from Shanghai Restoration Project. Both producers utlized spatula to level the surface of this mixture and stirred their styles collectively. Throughtout the album, Sichuan dialect that you may take it for some peculiar lingo and Children's innocent chanting impart a sense of tranquility to the afterquake country.Consisting 7 tracks, Afterquake is not a commercial harangue with senseless braggadocio, it's allure stems from  people's solidarity and affection when facing the sorrowful natural disaster. All in all, Afterquake is worth listening.
