Mabuta "Finish The Sun" Album Listening Session

ABOUT

Finish The Sun, the second offering from Shane Cooper & MABUTA, is a glowing and energetic album, rooted in grooves from all over the African continent. The six-piece outfit draws on influences from Mali, Nigeria, the Sahel, Morocco, and the many sounds that make up their native South Africa. This musical trip seamlessly dances through Afrobeat, maskandi, funk and hip hop, to moments of cinematic beauty. All embedded with subtle hints of 70s psychedelia. The core group of Shane Cooper, Bokani Dyer, Sisonke Xonti, and Robin Fassie invited international guests on drums including Jamie Peet, Arthur Hnatek, Christopher Cantillo, and more…  

“From a band that always dares to dream the different, Finish The Sun unfolds African musical landscapes remixed: rich in idiomatic allusion but with not a cliche in sight.” (Gwen Ansell - 2022)

We will have a track by track listening experience with Shane Cooper and a conversation facilitated by musical researcher, DJ and journalist Atiyyah Khan.
