Croatian blues/rock band Voodoo Ramble featuring Boris Zamba with special guest Marcus Flynn (The Guitar Legends/ 10cc/ Mike & The Mechanics/Fun Lovin’ Criminals) release a new single ‘4000’ Years Old’ on Mon 8th Dec 2024
Led by the award winning Croatian rock-blues guitarist Boris Zamba, ‘4000 Years Old’ is the third single to be released from the band’s forthcoming 5th album called ‘In The Heart of The City’ on CD Baby.
Co-written by the band’s founder member, vocalist and guitarist Boris Zamba and lyricist broadcaster and author Pete Feenstra, the song is a veritable stomp which draws on the natural world (the olive tree) and the roots of love.
Boris immediately tapped into the lyrical meaning and dug deep for musical feel with his emotive singing, warm guitar tone and crunch.
As he explains: “The song was built on the feeling of joy, and the roots of love. And, in expressing that feeling the arrangement built a tension which I think needed a defining guitar solo to resolve the song.
I tried various permutations until Pete suggested Marcus Flynn.
As luck would have it, I was due to tour the South West of England and I managed to hook up with Marcus on my UK debut show, and I immediately knew he was the guy for the job.
He saw his part as a powerful slide break and I think he gave us both the perfect solo and extra layer of energy.”
The song’s original concept is explained by Feenstra: “Every day while writing songs, I stare out my office window and let my imagination run free in the hope of inspiration.
The trigger was an olive tree which we planted a few years ago. We’ve since seen it grow through the rain and snow and it has now started to flourish.
I then looked up the history of olive trees and thought of an enduring love which transcends time, and in this case 4000 years.”
The single is helmed by long time producerDragutin Smokrovic aka “The Fig”, with Boris playing guitar and bass, while the groove element is provided by drummer Damir Somen
The award winning Boris Zamba successfully represented Croatia at the 30th International blues challenge in Memphis and also at European Blues Challenge in Tuscany Italy.
He has since released 5 albums and a handful of singles featuring such guests as Mick Pini and Muddy Manninen (Wishbone Ash), while building an impressive profile in Europe, The US and Australia where he has enjoyed chart success.
