Coming as a delightful surprise after her inital album, which established her as a unique singer-songwriter, Kafayat's "April 16" is a unique and largely instrumental selection of tracks that mesmerizes and delights. Her multi layered and multicultural sounds take us on a musical journey, traversing a dreamy gamelan landscape, through the rhythms of Africa and the carefree joys of childhood, always returning to the sounds that uplift the spirit. PRESS "Kafayat Quadri . . . brings in a strong Nigerian feeling into her songs and her voice is impactful and strengthening. My favourite song of hers was Wa S'ile Eko (Come to the House of Knowledge) in which she sang in Nigerian. It had so much of that oomph and heartfelt emotions that I sang out with all I can when she got us to sing along." - K.Y. CHIN, PIPIT Stories (Feb 23, 2013) "Kafayat Quadri is a musician who can be seen performing and leaving a trail of new admirers all around KL. Earthy, soulful and distinctively unique." - Sheena Baharuddin, The Numinous (Feb 21, 2013) "Kafayat Quadri is gaining the attention of Nigerian social media lovers. Listening to her grooves, I found myself nodding my head in approval. It is always great to see young people who are willing to stretch their wings, check out/learn and use alternative forms of music expressions rather than the regular over used ones. Her voice is simply great. Two thumbs up!" - Pamela Stitch, The Pamela Stitch Webazine "Kafayat Quadri rawks! Her voice goes through a room, straight to you.
