The award winning and Gilles Peterson-approved Danish supergroup Kalaha returns with the single 'Mama Ngoma' and a 6-track EP with the same name.
The track is first and foremost a tribute to West African traditions like Highlife and Afrobeat but mixed with the dance floor appeal of contemporary electronic music.
The catchy and highly danceable track combines African mud huts with epic science fiction which is cheekily illustrated in the accompanying animated video directed by the group's art director Zven Balslev.
The EP has had early support from The Rust Music (US), Jay Scarlett (DE/Puls), Mathieu Schreyer (US/KCRW), Descroix (DK/Iboga), P8 Jazz (DK), Dancefloor Mayhem (US), Synths of Eden (DE), Pouled'or (DE), Radio Prun (F), Mantra Radio at CITR FM (CAN), Dubmission (US), Heartbeats (DK), The Slow Music Movement (UK), O Dominio Dos Deuses (PT), Hakan Tamar (TU) & Mushpost Radio on WAXX.FM (US/James Cook).
