MAHABONGO Swish Its Everywhere

Mahabongo is a new band, brought together in 2007 by Matthew
Clark (b. 1956), a Brighton-based (U.K.) musician who writes songs,
sings and plays guitar (and some bamboo flute). Their first album,
Swish It’s Everywhere, was released on 17th June 2008 on a new,
independent record label, mahabongo.com. The ten songs on this
album were selected from Matthew Clark’s wide repertoire. Swish It’s
Everywhere features some very talented musicians who have worked
with a wide range of contemporary pop and jazz artists.
