Africa Express- EGOLI (2xLP)
Music collective Africa Express announce the release of a brand new
studio album titled EGOLI, coming 12th July 2019 on the newly created Africa Express Records imprint.
Hailed as the most revolutionary force in popular music for two
decades, Africa Express was founded in 2006 and brings together
musicians from different cultures, genres and generations to break
boundaries and offer a new perspective on Africa and its music.
Each record and event is unique, based upon on-the-spot collaboration and filled with unique moments of magic; the collective have hosted trips and concerts in Nigeria, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Mali and UK to date.
Africa Express travelled to South Africa in January of last year to
complete an electronic album in just 7 days, a week of discovery,
collaboration and music-making. The result is EGOLI – 18 tracks
capturing the fresh, joyous sounds of Afro Futurism, straight out of
Johannesburg.
Featured artists include Damon Albarn, Blue May, Gruff Rhys, Georgia,
Ghetts, Mr Jukes, Nick Zinner, Remi Kabaka, Otim Alpha and Poté as
well as emerging and established stars of the buzzing South African
music scene including BCUC, Blk Jks, Dominowe, Faka, Infamous Boiz, DJ Spoko, Mahotella Queens, Moonchild Sanelly, Muzi, Morena Leraba, Nonku Phiri, Radio 123, Sibot, Sho Madjozi, Zola 7, Zolani Mahola (Freshly Ground) and Maskandi guitar legend Phuzekhemisi.
