On the Romance of Being

Ezulwini

love should be pleasant — fun & carefree, or at least that’s what i think & Chipego helps me realise that sonically with absolute brilliance!

Chipego, without saying much or emphasis on spoken enunciation — goes on a harmonious exhibition! just effortlessly, singing her heart out, almost dancing, just as love should be…

we always speak about falling in love but imagine a love where you’re in control of your footwork — your emotions & you can tap dance, expressing yourself in your own way…

Layers of History
Terror Serenity Earth 
evil seeks to banish 
love seeks to hold. 
the white spiral 
where'd it start and when it will end
washing away of sins
holding up arms to extend 
a petal of empathy
a flower behind closed doors
left beside the casket 
on the wall
on the floor

The Power of Being a Metal Techno Slut

After almost 15 years of peddling his own cd’s and tapes on the streets of Mbale, Robert Mugamba’s Kadodi finally get a proper introduction to the outside world thanks to the increasingly vital Nyege Nyege Tapes crew. ‘Kadodi’ pairs a transfixing percussive soundtrack with modern electronic contributions from Bamba Pana and Sun C, resulting in another remarkable document from the pearl of Africa.
Extending privileged insight to the way ancient practices meet modernism near the Equator in East Africa, the ‘Kadodi’ LP renders a set of mesmerising, rhythmelodic percussion and crowd hollers, along with electrifying reinterpretations by local, East Ugandan producer Sun C and Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania’s Bamba Pana. Placing ageless ritual music alongside its club antecedents, the results find tradition frictionlessly reconciled with modernism, drawing bridges between tribal identities and ancient belief systems, and clubs as contemporary sites of ritual enactment.
The musical aspect of the ceremony is intended to induce initiates to a trance state, readying them to transcend from boyhood (basinde) into men (basani). The twice yearly rites of passage are such an occasion that their soundtrack has now transcended from original ritual use to find its ways into nightclubs, thanks to producers such as DMX, Papas and Sun C - the pioneer of Kadodi music’s shift into electronic spheres.
On this set the ceremony starts on side A and continues into side B, documenting the Domadana Kadodi Performers brewing a bristling frenzy of polymetric percussion with hypnotic intensity coming as a result of their natural complexity. Following this utterly unique situation, Mbale native Sun C offers a near 10 minute electronic reinterpretation of Kadodi music on ‘Kaad 4’, mirroring the breathless cadence and intensity of the original in its sustained pitches and intricate syncopation of pipes and pointillist percussions. And you can trust Bamba Pana to take that one step farther on ‘Wateranga’, where he ramps the original drums with Singeli-style pattern and pace to irresistibly energetic effect.

NNT009 Track 3 Sun C: KAAD 4

An original and dynamic experience, Black Ladder's self-titled debut album showcases the group's wide musical range and songwriting capabilities. From the drum and bass drive of "Through the Tunnel" to the gentle, contemplative melody of "Blue Elegy," "Black Ladder" offers something for everyone to enjoy. The rhythmic funk groove in "D.K." is offset by guest artist Dexter Weiss' soaring saxophone work, while guest Lisa Lamb's graceful Harp layers add elegance to the symphonic "Kronia." While it was recorded on a working band's budget, "Black Ladder" is a lively, well-produced album that is charming, loose and diverse. The album transcends preconceived notions of instrumental music, with compositions that allow listeners to define the music on their own terms.
