One simple way to describe how this project came about, Off-the-cuff! Concepts and ideas were thrown back and forth from Zimbabwe to France via email. But because of busy scheduling nothing was actually agreed upon. So, what to do? Three days were spent in a studio, with nothing but music as our spiritual offering. This is three days before The Monkey Nuts, Hope Masike and DJ OIL were meant to perform at one of Africa’s biggest festivals, The Harare International Festival of the Arts. 
These recordings are an act of impulse, an intermingling of culture and sound, spaced out across two continents. DJ Oil, The Monkey Nuts and Hope Masike present: Boombap Idiophonics.

### Part I: The Kernel (The Inhale)
A wisp of scent,  
Of pine and rain.  
A ghost of smoke,  
A neural lane.  

### Part II: The First Unfolding (The Steam)
A wisp of scent, of pine and rain:  
The water meets the leaves’ embrace.  
A swirling, steaming, green-hued space.  
The porcelain warms beneath my face.  
I am here, in this quiet place.  

A ghost of smoke, a neural lane:  
It curls and climbs, a spectral thread.  
It leads me from the light ahead,  
To pathways in my heart instead.  
A silent, sacred prayer is said.  

### Part III: The Second Unfolding (The Memory)
The water meets the leaves’ embrace,  
But it’s his hands I see, not mine.  
A different porch, a different time.  
The same slow, steeply, steeply climb  
Of brewing some cheap, potent thyme.  
He showed me how to hold the chime.  

It leads me from the light ahead,  
Back to the chatter and the din.  
The rusty tin roof, caving in.  
The world was small, contained within  
The wisdom that he’d begin:  
“This steam,” he’d say, with a giant’s grin,  
“Holds all the places it’s been.”  

### Part IV: The Convergence (The Exhale)
The porcelain cools within my hand.  
I understand.  
I understand.  

The wisp of scent was not a ghost,  
But just a bridge from coast to coast.  
A thread that weaves through time the most.  
He is the smoke, and I’m the tea,  
Infused with what he gave to me.  
In this quiet space, I clearly see:  
The ceremony’s not just a brew,  
It’s a fragrant memory of you.  
And every steep makes my soul anew.  

### Part V: The Coda (The Scent Fades)
A wisp of scent.  
A neural lane.  
It blooms again.  
And blooms again.

Brazil 45, number 29: http://www.mrbongo.com/products/dom-salvador-barumba-osmar-milito-morre-e-burro-fica-o-homem-7

A. Dom Salvador - Barumba
AA. Osmar Milito - Morre o Burro, Fica o Homem

We have released several of Brazilian jazz legend Dom Salvador’s records on Mr Bongo. He worked with artists including as Elis Regina, Jorge Ben and Edu Lobo and led Salvador Trio, as well as releasing under his own name. Dom lives in New York and plays a Hotel piano bar daily.

‘Barumba’ is an uptempo funk-jazz monster with heavy drums and piano right from the off. Soaring horns add to the drama.

Originally released on his self titled LP on CBS Brazil in 1974.


Morre o burro, Fica o Homem is the third Osmar Milito track to feature in our Brazil 45’s series. A classic samba-rock track; funk drums fills and punchy horns underpin the MPB vocals, building in tempo slightly over the track. The song was originally written by Jorge Ben.

Taken from his expensive and hard to find ‘Nem Paletó, Nem Gravata’ LP released on ATCO Brazil in 1973.

An amazing French record from 1974 that I heard for the first time a few weekends back at a mates party. Was utterly blown away, so simply had to do a skeemix.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did! 

All credit to the original composers and musicians (R. Hermel & D. Janin ) who are incredible!!

Devenir Maleza was one of those projects that just arrived in our overflowing inboxes one day out of the blue. We opened the link and discovered four finely crafted, beautifully produced and captivating tracks of transformative, percussive music. 

It rare to find music that marries so well recorded percussion, live instrumentation and vocals with deep electronic productions without one dominating on the other. With Devenir Maleza Prisma and Martin Broder, a duo based between Berlin and Buenos Aires, managed to find that sweet spot that we love so much here at Shika Shika: deep, electronic but natural, acoustic and introspective. Or as the duo describes it: “a crackling, soothing, hypnotic lullaby.” 

Devenir Maleza’s was inspired by the concept of “becoming” and of transformation in many aspects. Through their long-distance collaboration the duo’s starting point was to imagine music becoming la maleza or “the undergrowth”, as if it the synths, vocals and instruments were sinking into the humid earth or drawn from the whistling wind or emerging from a rustling forest. 

The duo is joined on the EP by the talented singer and pianist Maria Barone as well as techno-producer / percussionist Merlin Genschel.
