Jumbo is a giant in the so-called 'World music' scene. Born in Cape Town, Jumbo left for London in the mid-1970s to find himself at the center of a musical revolution. Starting out at Virgin Records in the days when it was just a record shop and instrumental in its Reggae-centric Frontline division, to developing Chris Blackwell's Mango imprint under Island Records, and then running his own label Earthworks in the late 80s, Jumbo played a huge but often-overlooked role in the popularisation of Reggae and African music, putting out some of the first recordings by Youssou N'Dour, Johnny Clegg, Busi Mhlongo, Baaba Maal, and Salif Keita.

Back in Cape Town after three decades abroad, we kicked it with Jumbo at his Cape Town home and talked music. And the man was kind enough to make us a mix CD, ripping many of the tracks from their original vinyl - and he's been involved in all of them, whether in production, A&R or distribution.

Pay Yo Taxes (Live)

𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓹𝓪𝓵𝓶𝓼 𝓼𝔀𝓪𝔂... but the 𝓌𝒾𝓃𝒹 is 𝓈𝓎𝓃𝓉𝒽𝑒𝓉𝒾𝒸.
𝒜 𝓉𝓇𝒶𝓃𝓈𝓂𝒾𝓈𝓈𝒾𝑜𝓃 𝓉𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝓃𝑒𝓋𝑒𝓇 𝒽𝒶𝓅𝓅𝑒𝓃𝑒𝒹, 𝓅𝓁𝒶𝓎𝑒𝒹 𝒷𝒶𝒸𝓀 𝒷𝓎 𝒶 𝓂𝒶𝒸𝒽𝒾𝓃𝑒 𝓉𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝓃𝑒𝓋𝑒𝓇 𝓈𝓁𝑒𝓅𝓉.
Were we ever really there?🌴✨


A dream of paradise, reconstructed by the machine. "Lucid Palms" drifts between worlds—evoking the golden age of exotica while pulsing with AI-driven reinvention. Lush vibraphones and shimmering synths float over a hypnotic rhythm, guiding the listener through a neon-lit jungle of sound. Just as you settle into its serene embrace, a bold electronic break fractures time, revealing the synthetic core beneath the mirage.

This is AI Exotica—a forgotten melody reborn through the lens of the future.

Lucid Palms

𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓯𝓮𝓮𝓽 𝓶𝓸𝓿𝓮, 𝓫𝓾𝓽 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓰𝓻𝓸𝓾𝓷𝓭 𝓼𝓱𝓲𝓯𝓽𝓼.
𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝓇𝒽𝓎𝓉𝒽𝓂 𝒽𝑜𝓁𝒹𝓈... 𝒷𝓊𝓉 𝓃𝑜𝓉 𝓌𝒽𝑒𝓇𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝓁𝑒𝒻𝓉 𝒾𝓉.
𝒜 𝓈𝓉𝑒𝓅 𝒻𝑜𝓇𝓌𝒶𝓇𝒹, 𝒶 𝓈𝓉𝑒𝓅 𝒷𝒶𝒸𝓀—𝓌𝒽𝑜 𝓁𝑒𝒶𝒹𝓈 𝓌𝒽𝑜?

A dance of flickering light, where tradition fractures into the unknown. "Anda//Luz" is the pulse of flamenco, undone by the machine—each strum tracing the echoes of a lost compás, each disruption revealing something new. AI does not understand rhythm as we do, yet here, in its attempt to reconstruct the unquantifiable, a new form emerges.

A song of motion. A song of interference. A song that walks between two worlds.
