IN THIS MUKAMBO MIX, WE MOVE BETWEEN COLOMBIA AND AFRICA. FROM AFRO-COLOMBIA HAILS THE DIVA OF PACIFIC MUSIC NIDIA GÓNGORA, KNOWN FOR HER WORK WITH QUANTIC AND PLENTY OF OTHER OUTERNATIONAL COLLABORATIONS. HER FIRST SOLO ALBUM “PACÍFICO MARAVILLA” IS A CONDENSÉ OF WHAT SHE HAS BEEN DOING FOR OVER A DECADE. ALSO FROM COLOMBIA, A UNIQUE COLLABORATION BETWEEN BEJUCO AND LA ESCUELITA DEL RITMO CALLED “RITMO DE DOS MARES”, WHERE THE MARIMBA AND THE CONGO DRUM MEET IN A DEEP AND VIBRANT DIALOGUE.
“HEALING VOICES” IS SPIRITUAL AFROJAZZ BY THE COSMICALLY POETIC DUO ESINAM (BELGIUM/GHANA) & SIBUSILE XABA (SOUTH AFRICA) ON THEIR DEBUT ALBUM “HEALING VOICES”. AND FROM THE HEART OF THE BLACK CONTINENT COMES KIN’GONGOLO KINIATA, A NEW VOICE OF CONGOLESE MUSIC, OFFERING A POTENT NEW TAKE ON KINSHASA-BORN RUMBA WITH HANDCRAFTED PERCUSSION FROM FOUND STREET OBJECTS PROVIDING THE BAND’S RHYTHMICAL POWER.
