{"product_id":"dumama-towards-an-expanse","title":"Dumama – Towards an Expanse","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTowards an Expanse\u003c\/em\u003e Follows the acclaimed 2020 collaborative album \u003cem\u003eBuffering Juju\u003c\/em\u003e with Kechou, a fellow South African musician and artist, lauded as Global album of the month and “a wonderfully inventive debut” in The Guardian. Sometimes gospel, sometimes electro-psychedelic space travel, the project starts with a languid lament that whispers a close-to-the-ear invitation up and between the folds of what unfurls into an ever- expanding sonic universe. Towards an Expanse began in 2019 at Figure 8 Studios (Brooklyn, NYC) under the generous guidance of Shahzad Ismaily. It was written in Port Alfred and Cape Town and matured in Berlin and has evolved into a companion, a pulsating vessel of grief, vitality, and reclamation. The album meditates on learning to live with damage while regaining autonomy over how Black life is archived: a dialogue between the artist, her ancestors, voices like Miriam Makeba, Busi Mhlongo, Princess Magogo, Madosini, and the psychoacoustics of South Africa’s lore as a timeless technology. It brings these elders into a conversation with Dumama’s global orientation and experimental sensibilities.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"kingslandrecords","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60193758314830,"sku":"5060571364128","price":26.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1058\/3474\/2094\/files\/e1ea5f_c1f88f050f0442f89d8e367471a6649b_mv2.jpg?v=1784733221","url":"https:\/\/www.kingslandrecords.com\/products\/dumama-towards-an-expanse","provider":"Kingsland Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
