“Everything Is Broke” is the debut album from Cologne based multi-instrumentalist Muito Kaballa. The eight track lp fuses a variety of styles including afro beat, Brazilian with a touch of electronics. Kaballa plays all instruments on all but two tracks here. Among the highlights are “Lugar Ao Sol” Kaballa lays down an infectious African groove augmented by various horns and drum programming. “The Easy Way” is mellow Caribbean inspired bliss filled with vocal harmonies. “Tin Tin” is a stripped down bongo driven tune that features Jan Michael Lauber on Trumpet and Ina Scheuermann on Tenor sax. Kaballa provides a pleasing take on African music specifically and world music overall.
