Jamie Hendry (Jasper Dan‘s Vocalist) comments
“Mama Voodoo’ grew quickly from a single riff, which remained the main musical thread throughout the song. It was almost as if the song chose its own lyrical content, as themes of traditional practices seemed to be the only thoughts I had while listening to the music.”
“From palm reading to tarot cards, crystal balls to ayahuasca ceremonies, the song tells a story of a spiritual journey of enlightenment through various paths people have chosen over the years. The mayhem of the journey ends in tranquillity and peace, evoking the feeling of being immersed in the gentle rolling of a river’s water.”
“These themes fascinate me, as they divide so many people … some fear such practices, while others rely on them to find peace and positive influence in their lives. The song is more about the latter audience.”
“We tracked, mixed, and mastered ‘Mama Voodoo’ at Assegai Studios in Johannesburg with renowned producer Robin Walsh. This is our fourth Jasper Dan release under Robin Walsh, and it is certain to be far from the last, as the band and Robin have forged a close bond and friendship over the past few years.”
