Brownswood Recordings are pleased to present ’Ngo ma’, the debut album from IzangoMa (@izangoma4886)- a 15-piece ensemble from Pretoria, South Africa, led by vocalist and guitarist Sibusile Xaba with DJ/producer AshK.
IzangoMa are Cosmic sgubhu with the alchemic powers of Sun Ra mixed with township styles ranging from pantsula to bubblegum. ‘Ngo Ma’ - which loosely translates from Zulu to English as ‘by my mother’ - explores themes of Creation as seen through the all-knowing feminine energy that transcends time and space
Available across all digital platforms and CD, with the vinyl arriving very soon.
