Producer Jesse Hackett, his brother Louis and school friend Tom Skinner were introduced to local musicians Joseph Nyamungu and Charles Owoko. A coming together of traditional East African musical philosophies and a more electronically-inclined London sensibility, this record is rooted in an intricate percussive framework which yields a progressively cut sound, cohesively brought together via an impressive musical chemistry.įounded in 2009, the Owiny Sigoma Band began during a cultural exchange project in Kenya entitled The Art of Protest. “The project has always been a massive experiment,” notes Louis Hackett, the bassist and one fifth of the ever-fascinating Owiny Sigoma Band, whose fourth studio album ‘The Lost Tapes’ is to be released on Brownswood Recordings six years since their last full record. Brownswood Recordings are happy to present the final installment of the critically acclaimed collaborative project, Owiny Sigoma Band, available across all streaming platforms on October 29th 2021.
