Description
iPhupho L'ka Biko, the highly acclaimed Africanist experimental jazz band, is thrilled to announce the release of their debut EP, 'Azania' vinyl through Canadian record label, We Are Busy Bodies. Following the success of their two acclaimed singles, 'Abaphezulu', released through Brownswood Recordings, and 'uThixo uKhona', distributed by Platoon. The band dedicated the year 2022 to recording and producing this eagerly awaited EP.
Azania delves into a rich tapestry of themes that are close to the hearts of the band members, including spirituality, Pan Africanism, freedom, love, ritual, tradition, culture, and displacement. The EP showcases iPhupho L'ka Biko's unique musical fusion, blending jazz with indigenous African music of imvumane in tracks like Qamata, and infusing jazz with gospel influences in songs like Singabakho. This eclectic approach reflects the fluidity and diversity of the band's sound, promising an immersive and captivating musical journey. The band's dynamic sound has been honed and perfected through their numerous live performances across the country, which have garnered them a devoted and loyal fan base. iPhupho L'ka Biko's ability to connect with audiences through their energetic and soul-stirring performances has elevated them to become one of Johannesburg's most revered musical collectives. "Azania the EP is an introduction of iPhupho L'ka Biko to the world, marking the beginning of a new era," shares Nhlanhla Ngqaqu, the band's founder and composer. -
