A Deep Soul Experience In The New Year From Mwalim

BOSTON - It's been a busy year for Mwalim. Between gigging and attending award ceremonies, he has been slipping into the studio and recording a follow-up to his award-winning "The Liberation Sessions" album, the new year will bring us more music. In true Mwalim fashion, the newest project, "The Abyss" will be a slight departure from previously released efforts in that it's a House Music album. Winner of the 2010 New England Urban Music Awards 'Best Male Jazz Vocalist', the new project showcases his vocal prowess. Sneak previews of the new CD will start to appear on-line in January 2011. "The Liberation Sessions" won two New England Urban Music Awards and nominated for the 2010 Native American Music Awards Best Pop and Best World Music recordings.
