Danah

Lots of Bands entertained but you guys spoke to my heart. That is just one of the phrases in the air after hearing the Band Danah. The duo of Dana Ward and David Thomas have spun things around in their native island of Barbados and continue to send sonic waves of a combination of electronic/acoustic/pop out into the world.Appearing out of nowhere 4 years ago and following with a self written, produced, mixed, played and sung album Out of Darkness, Danas lead vocals and Davids guitar and production work have been heard and recognized over and over again. Appearances at the 2004 Barbados Jazz festival alongside names such as Fourplay and Kal David and opening for Gospel acts Ron Kenoly and Donnie McClurkin among others led to seven local Flame Gospel Awards including most influential group of the year. After this, 2 Marlin Awards (Caribbean Gospel awards) and eventually a co-publishing contract with ACM records in New York. That was as a result of winning an internet music competition at Makerstar.com having received the most fan votes (98% of which came from voters outside the Caribbean).They are now back in the lab experimenting and preparing their second album as well as preparing their new band for part II of the Danah Sound stepped up a couple of notches of course.I recently interviewed lead singer Dana Ward and guitarist David Thomas about the origin of the band, what inspires them and where they intend to go in the future. I did all of this, unfortunately without actually listening to their CD "Out of Darkness". I had a good listen though as I made my way through the maddening pre-hurricane traffic a few Mondays ago, and literally have not listened to anything else since. - Barbados Advocate- Sept 24 2004 Danah - One of Us
