Pioneering African artist, founder of Offering Recordings and father of Ancestral Soul, Boddhi Satva returns to BBE with retrospective double album 18, charting nearly two decades of groundbreaking music production...

Boddhi Satva's 18 is a double album, containing 32 songs (2 hr, 58 min, 23 sec). Satva released his debut album, Invocation, in 2012. With a sonic palette that constantly harks back to his native Africa and hints at a deep knowledge of folklore and spirituality, Satva's mystical touch has found its way onto smash-hit pop and Zouk records, as well as the deepest of underground cuts.

18 collects together 32 musical highlights from his career so far, and what a career it's been. In all honesty it's hard to chart the musical progression as each song sounds as fresh and uplifting as the day it was released. The constant shift and change in style ensures that everything stays fresh and original and will entertain Satva's fans for years to come.
