Wally Warning — Mama Nature

More than five years passed since radio stations in Germany, Austria and Switzerland played Wally Warning’s summer hit “No Monkey” over and over again and that the album of the same title was listed in the charts. Five years in which the charismatic singer and musician had time and opportunities to refine his musicality by giving concerts in churches, pubs, small theatres and many festivals but also to deepen his faith and his spirituality. The result of these experiences is Wally Warning’s brand new album “Mama Nature”. In a breathtaking way the instrumentalist, together with his background choir, changes from Gospel to Soul and Reggae; then again from Jazz to Folk and Rock and takes the audience with Carribean, Latin American and African sounds on a musical tour of the world. Songs like “One Drop Reggae”, “Memories”, “Boca Linda” or “Live to Love” sparkle with his pleasure to play music and his joie de vivre. Wally Warning is inviting everyone to dance! And that’s the secret of the new album: when you first hear it, you start tapping your feet, when you hear it for the second time it touches your heart and soul! It’s not just the sounds and rhythms that carry one away but especially the lyrics of the 15 new songs. With “Mama Nature” the Aruban songwriter celebrates life, joy and the hope for a better world. Songs like “Hope for tomorrow”, “Love’s an anchor”, ‘Faith in Jah”, “Mama Nature” or “Thankful” show in a remarkable way Wally Warning’s faith in god and love. Theresa von Avila is said to have said: “Christ has nobody on earth but you, no hands but yours…”. Wally Warning seems to be one of the few artists taking this way of living to heart. This becomes especially apparent in the song "Material". In his native language Papiamento Wally Warning is asking Jesus to protect mankind from material temptations and to bring them back on a spiritual path.

And that’s the secret of the new album. It sweeps you off your feet and fills you with power and energy and gets you dancing and praying.

“Mama Nature” is Wally’s personal acknowledgement to love and the creation of Mother Earth. It is, without doubt, the right album at the right time.
