A higher plain of consciousness is chartered during ‘Imbongi’, the new collaborative single between Jalal Ramdani and Mr. Silk. Featuring Africa’s majestic vocalist Lizwi, and with remixes by two afro-house heavyweights, Enoo Napa and FNX OMAR, this compelling single gets a long awaited release on BLOND:IDSH’s ABRACADABRA label. The imbongi, in African tradition, is a composer and orator of poems praising a chief or other figurehead, and on this fresh production, positive musical magic is teased from every pore, as Ramdani and Silk’s hypnotising production lets Lizwi’s vocal soar high above the transcendental groove. Speaking about the collaboration, Jalal divulges “Imbongi came about when myself and Silk were running afro-house events in London during the end of 2019, so the idea of a collaboration surfaced in between these events. The goal was to showcase a track where we blend the modern groove of house music with the traditional touches of our African heritage (I was born in Marrakech, Morocco and Silk has origins from Africa). We made it in my London studio in June 2020 during lockdown. It was done quickly, 3 to 4 days really, as there were no distractions due to lockdown” Remixes come courtesy of Enoo Napa, who has impressed via previous releases and mixes for Madoradindahouse, King Street Sounds and Go Deeva Records, and also a version from FNX OMAR, whose credentials include remixes for Stereo Productions, Spinnin’ Deep and MoBlack Records.
Jalal Ramdani has also released music on Madoras, Wired, Connected and Moblack, and has recently completed a tour of Latin America/Art Basel, including the legendary BPM festival.
