Their music uniquely fuses the physicality of indigenous funk, hip-hop-derived social consciousness, and punk's raw impulse, possessing an intensity akin to a head-on collision between gospel preaching and a live house. Their overwhelming live power and spiritual depth are internationally acclaimed, evidenced by their 2023 WOMEX Artist Award. On this album, they depict the reality of Soweto—still burdened over 30 years after apartheid's end—and the hope that persists within it. Comprising 10 entirely new tracks, it represents an unusually substantial volume compared to their previous works, which averaged around 3 songs. Centered on improvisation, their approach captures the moment a song \"comes to life.\" This allows the raw, live intensity to be etched directly into the studio recording.A record of the Afro-psychedelic spirit, linking history and the present, anger and healing, prayer and resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Out Here Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52388894212385,"sku":"880918278551","price":25.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/880918278551.jpg?v=1771907712","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-at\/products\/880918278551","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
