Canaan Caravan debut album by Obed Zeme

Canaan Caravan debut album by Obed Zeme

Imphal, 25th May 2013:  An experimental guitar instrumental album called ‘Canaan Caravan’, that crosses different genres from ballad rock to jazzy blues feel, has been released today in the north east. ‘Canaan Caravan’ is the debut album of Obed Zeme who romances with different shades of moods with his guitar. Obed Zeme is from Magulong Village, of Tamei Subdivison of Tamenglong District Manipur, and he is presently based in Delhi.  He is a guitar player, composer, arranger, producer, and a teacher.  His journey in music began at a tender age of eight, when he started playing piano and guitar. The album will be released in Delhi also very soon.

The album ‘Canaan Caravan’ is a tale of life’s journey that began in faith.  It is the guitarist’s rendition of the biblical caravan in the wilderness towards the Promised Land, Canaan. The titles of the tracks analogize significant landmarks in his spiritual passage. He is led by the peaceful Still Waters, but has to also endure the Arrows by Night. There are times when he envies the life on the Other Side of the River and tested his commitment, but deep down there’s a calm assurance that tells him that It is well with his soul.  He longs for Shakina Glory at all times, be it while he sings the Zion Song in adoration of the divine or while creating Origami in leisure.  And it is music, he says, that sustains faith as he continues to travel amidst the curse of Pandora’s Box.

Canaan Caravan-back

Canaan Caravan is not one season’s collection of the artist, rather, was written and compiled over a decade mostly in the early 2000s. True to Obed’s belief the album seeks to connect with the Higher power through music. Along with the larger vision for Peace reflected in his signature track A Cry for Peace, it also includes favorites like Rib of My Frame and Amazing Grace.

Pure headbanging music. And bit of X-PE-RY MENTAL too!

Description

Formed in May 2011. An “Experimental Metal” band based in Bangalore, India. As for the name, “Cheisrah” is an evil character in traditional Manipuri (Meitei) Folklore. Pure headbanging bliss.

Since their inception in May 2011 and after a successful EP release last year, the band has been quite active on the gig scene in and around Bangalore as they have been participating in college  shows/competitions and a few pub shows off late.

Lyrics: by Imon

Give me my rights back..

There's no voice for the common man.
There's no will for the one's in love.
Tied to the throat and pulled (and pushed),
into a life which undefined you

Built on a sling of ease you sway,
breaking my home time and time again.
We are bound by a belief of faith.
Over and Over, we lose again.

I will not be a victim of this Tragedy.
They will try to suppress us down.
we can fight, fight and turn this thing around.
We're all guilty of this deception,

(top it off with an opinion)

Dear heartless fucking bastard,
you robbed me of myself.

Words pouring in, die without a cure,
compensate my blood with your fears, (your fears)

I would love to welcome you to my head,
hope you feel sick, unwanted and fucked

Oh! Conniving heroes, protecting rights,
GIVE ME MY FUCKING RIGHTS MOTHER FUCKERS

You're deprived of answers.
You're deprived of answers.

Your existence holds no meaning to me,
and now as I let this spirt free, I can honestly wave my hand
and bid goodbye to this world!
