about

"Xigubo" is a captivating musical journey that pays homage to the proud and fierce traditions of the warrior parade that is its namesake. Drawing inspiration from Mozambican and Zulu cultures, this album merges elements of downtempo techno, futuristic tribalism, and a supernatural aura to create a sonic landscape that is both provocative and empowering.

The album opens with the rhythmic pounding of drums, invoking the spirit of the Xigubo dance. As the beat intensifies, the listeners are transported into a cosmic expanse, where the ancient and the contemporary seamlessly blend. Each track is meticulously crafted with intricate details, stepping basslines, slippery percussion, hypnotic synths, and airy vocal chants.

Through the music, "Xigubo" embodies the indomitable spirit of colonial resistance, channeling the strength and determination of the warriors dancing in parallel rows adorned in fur necklaces, animal pelts, iklwa (spears), and Igqoka (shields). It is a sonic celebration of heritage and cultural identity, embracing the power of music to transcend boundaries and unite people.

Prepare to embark on an exploration, where industrial strength meets cosmic expanse and the proud traditions of the past merge with the innovative sounds of the future. "Xigubo" is an album that demands to be heard, experienced, and cherished—a testament to the power of music to ignite the warrior spirit within us all.
