notes
SKAMP's latest album “Deadly” is a mix of African music mixed in with hip-hop and soul. The group feel that the 13 track album is their most upbeat yet. Something else special about the album is the presence of Vee’s father Gaussou Diawara, a famous writer and poet from Mali, who helped pen a number of the songs in "bambara" and "french".
SKAMP fullfilled their old dream to record "Deadly" in Bamako (Mali) and Vilnius (Lithuania) with some of the finest musicians from both countries. Producer Vee Diawara (raised in Mali) and lead singer Erica Jennings (lived over 2 years in Tanzania) had always wanted to mix African musical elements with the typical SKAMP sound.
"SKAMP" - 1) an abbreviation of the Lithuanian word 'Savas Kampas' which means 'your niche'. 2) a wicked band in Lithuania.
Since 1998 SKAMP have reigned as one of the best live acts in Lithuania as well as The Baltic's. They're best known for kick-ass concerts and fusing together various styles of music to create their own eclectic cocktail. Over the years the trio have garnered many awards including Best Debut (1999), Best Band (2000, 2001,2004 & 2005) and Best Album (2000, 2001 & 2004) while Erica has won "Best Female Artist" (2001 & 2002) and Vee has won "Best Producer" (2000). SKAMP have opened for international acts like "The Black-Eyed Peas", "Macy Gray", "Kraftwerk" and Germany's own "5 Sterne Deluxe" among others and the band have toured and played at festivals all over Europe and America.
In August the new video for their latest tune "Reach" was premiered on the very first "MTV Making The Video" programme on MTV Baltic, they had the first "MTV LIVE" programme air their "SKAMP - Live&Deadly" concert which is now out on DVD and it was the first time an entire week was dedicated to one band.
While the new video "Reach" currently has heavy rotation on MTV Baltic, SKAMP are currently writing and recording a brand new album due out in 2008. Stay Tuned.
