"Tanzania's Msafri Zawose has been one of the biggest slept-on musical forces from the region. That's about to change with the imminent arrival of a new album that will redefne the boundaries of gogo music. The Wagogo people are Msafri's traditonally nomadic tribe from the center of the Tanzania, known for their musicality and made famous by Hukwe Zawose - Msafri's father, who toured the world as a part of Peter Gabriel's Real World roster in the 80s and 90s. The album has been produced in collaboraton with Sam Jones from SoundThread, whose recent works with Orlando Julius and remixes for Mugwisa Internatonal and Sarabi have been rapturously received. The tracks remain profoundly 'gogo' with traditonal instruments and singing, but are infused with an organic electronic aesthetc. This is an afro-futurist journey that takes in dub, balearic, ambient and electronic vibratons alongside Zawose's hypnotc playing and emotve, plaintve vocals."
