Korma
The music of Korma rewards the listener on multiple planes. Along side the spiritual message of Korma there is the sensory delight of hearing eclectic instrumentation which is masterfully highlighted in the pleasant context of complex world rhythms. A plethora of ethnic instruments are featured in such a way that no particular instrument, sound, or rhythm seems to be over stated. Although Korma's signature sound is definitely Reggae the palette of musical influences coloring their sound is rich enough to produce a unique and broadly appealing style of music. The vocals of Wallace Pryor and Dan Bayne aptly compliment the world ambience which Korma creates. Their voices seem to add a prophetic edge and urgency to the religious message of their songs.
In the CreatorsWeb interview below, Wallace Pryor, mentions that Korma does not perform in live venues. Instead the group primarily sticks to the studio. Although this recording emphasis does serve to produce a deeply layered sound that is aurally intoxicating, one can't help but feel that Korma has a sound and message that could captivate a live audience in the proper setting.
