about

The production of Tambo began with a sample from an improvisation by Chinese OneBeat Fellow Meng Qi on synthesizers and Egyptian Tarek Elazhary on Oud. This instrumental track was then developed into a beat by OneBeat Co-Founder Jeremy Thal, and vocals were added later by Greensboro-based rapper Justin Harrington (aka Demeanor). Justin describes the story behind the piece as “a merging of not just genre, but era and legacy. Some of the characters whose perspective I was rapping from --“Mr. Bones” and “Tambo”-- are representative of the minstrel era in America.” “Tambo” asks the question: “If the voices from back then could really defend themselves, what would they say?”
