INI Movement is proud to present this debut collaboration between three nations - the UK, Kenya and Congo, bringing a modern fusion of authentic East-African Rumba and electronic sounds.

London-based producers Village Cuts, have teamed up with legendary vocalists from one of East Africa’s most prolific bands, Orchestre Les Mangelepa, alongside rising Kenyan guitar prodigy Shama to produce Baiskeli.

Whilst the song title might elicit images of a bicycle ride through the Kenyan countryside, the lyrics are a celebration of African music sung in a mix of Swahili, Lingala and English, and delivered by the unmistakable harmonies of the Mangelepa trio.

Shama is an expertly trained young guitarist, who founded and led the Rumba reviving group, Orchestra Masika Afrika in his homeland Kenya. Despite only recently rerooting in London, he has already become extremely in-demand for his skills in yielding the African axe.

On remix duties, acclaimed disco-edit maestro Aroop Roy provides a fantastically light-handed flip, complete with funky bass guitar and synth ecstasy. Cementing the Kenyan connection, INI Movement mainstay Ngalah Oreyo creates a deep and dubby escapade, heavy on the mighty Mangelepa’s hyped-up chants.
Baiskeli is a celebration of connectivity. Despite a recent loss of much physical interaction, musical collaborations mean the spirit of togetherness is still very much alive.

The latest chapter in the longstanding relationship between Gilles Peterson and the music of Cuba, it sees him explore the roots of rumba through a project comprising a feature-length documentary and a collection of remixes to be released in 2016.
