/Music and Recording PR News/ - WEST SUSSEX, UK, February 20, 2008 - World music label ARC Music Productions is delighted to hear that Robin Hogarth, producer of more than 20 albums for ARC Music, has for a second time received high recognition by the international Grammy Awards judges with "African Spirit", by The Soweto Gospel Choir. The album, produced by Robin, won the "Best Traditional World Music Album" award at the 50th Grammy awards held in Los Angeles on the 10th February 2008. He also produced the Choirıs previous album "Blessed", which too won the Grammy at the 2007 awards.
An immensely talented and respected composer and producer, Robin has over 50 albums to his credit, including World Moods albums with the likes of Peter Gabriel and Enigma, ARC Music albums "Tribal Beatz of Africa", "South African Gospel" and "Ancient Civilisations of Southern Africa", to name just a few. His music has been used in film and TV productions in almost every country in the world.
He has worked within African and World music for many years, and is involved in developing new recording approaches to both technically capture African choral and playing techniques, and to develop in the studio the capacity to reproduce the level of excitement and live communication of African music.
Robin's projects currently underway are diverse and numerous. He says, "Every day brings new challenges, and new and wonderful music, rhythm and cultural panoramas: I love what I do as it continually opens up new futures, and the adventure is ever changing".
Karlyn Culmer, from the Media Department at ARC Music, comments, "We are very proud and happy that Robin's abilities as a composer, producer and musician are recognised and appreciated by the prestigious Grammy Awards. On the albums he's produced for us, listeners find that his production techniques excellently capture the culture and energy of the people, which requires real technical skill and understanding of the group's ethnicity. Congratulations from all of us to him, his team and the choir!"
