Party with Jamani – Jamani Stewart



Release Date: October, 2007
Label: Hearts Aglow Records

Party with Jamani, the debut CD from 12-year old steel pan sensation Jamani Stewart, is a remarkable recording coming from one so young. The opening notes of the first track, Hearts Aglow, let you know you’re in for a treat. Hearts Aglow, an original composition, features a very danceable rhythm with a prominent steel pan lead. The steel pan is played with all the skill and precision of a seasoned veteran. This track has what it takes to become a hit single. You’ll want to play this one again and again.

The 7-track CD also features several well-known R&B, hip-hop, and dancehall tunes. One seldom thinks of steel pan and dancehall in the same breath. However, Jamani’s brilliant remake of Sean Paul’s recent big hit We Be Burnin’ instantly changes that. Jamani’s rendition pumps new life into an addictive dancehall rhythm and introduces the steel pan to a generation who may have dismissed the steel pan as their parents’ music.

Other tracks you’re sure to enjoy are the very memorable Belly Dancer and T.O.K.’s chart topper Foot Prints (when you cry). The steel pan leads are excellent. When I think of Jamani’s age, words like prodigy, virtuoso, musical genius, and raw talent come to mind. When I listen to his music, all I can think is this is great music! With its upbeat rhythms and a dazzling display of steel pan artistry, Party with Jamani is sure to become an instant favorite.
