    Out of stock

    What if the forest could speak?Since their debut, Les Mamans du Congo & Rrobin have been building a body of work at the intersection of cultural transmission and experimentation. Following a well-received self-titled debut album, then *Ya Mizolé*, which asserted a strong Afro-retro-futurist and feminist identity, the collective continues on it's path with *WA SANGI*: "listen to the forest." This third album marks a shift. Their perspective broadens, without ever straying from their original anchor: women, mothers, and their role in passing on traditions. Here, it's no longer just about preservation. It's about raising awareness.Musically, WA SANGI deepens the band's signature sound by asserting a unique creative approach. No pre-established framework: no tempo, no aesthetic, no format. The tracks emerge from the voices, songs, and rhythms brought by the Mamans du Congo, which Rrobin extends in real time. The compositions take shape during jam sessions, in a process akin to a live performance, where chords, structures, and textures emerge through direct interaction with the vocal material.With WA SANGI, Les Mamans du Congo & Rrobin deliver their most direct work to date. An album with multiple layers of meaning-ecological, social, economic, and human-that both documents and challenges. Listening to the forest, here, is not a metaphor. It is a necessityHIGHLIGHTS: Nearly 35K monthly Spotify listeners On Spotify: Ngaminke (2.5M streams) / Meki (1.6M streams)Internationally recognized project: For several years, Les Mamans du Congo & Rrobin have been developing a unique Afro-futurist sound, blending traditional Congolese music with contemporary electronic textures.

    Out of stock

    "DALGA - A Selection of '80s Pop Oddities from Turkey" is the first compilation to bring together rare Turkish pop oddities from the 1980s, and the first compilation to explore how new studio technologies shaped the sound of 1980s Turkish pop and dance music. Features six tracks that were released only on rare cassette tapes. In the aftermath of Turkey's 1980 military coup, collective music-making gradually gave way to studio-based production, as drum machines, samplers, and synthesizers took center stage. From the early 1980s onwards, these technologies became increasingly popular among Turkish musicians and producers. While some sought to emulate the global pop sound of the era, like Neriman's "Sever Gibi" and Füsun Önal's "Takma Kafana", others experimented by blending electronic elements with Arabesque, as heard in Mehmet Pekün's "Anca Gidersin" and Zorbeyler's "Bir Mumdur", or with Anatolian pop influences, such as the studio project Tele Tempo's "Su Samsunun Evleri" and "Havada Bulut". Let these waves carry you through the electrified tides of 1980s Turkey. DALGA is compiled by Istanbul-based beat maker and digger extraordinaire Grup Ses.

Recorded live to tape at Brewery Studios in Berlin and sculpted into wild, transcendent dimensions by producers Adam Sait and Pascal Karier, the album reflects deeply on human existence, nature, and transience.Orange Vinyl Tracklist: I Dotanba: Is It a Day Before the Day?

    Out of stock

    Widely known for his past work as drummer/percussionist with legendary Dead Can Dance and contributor to 4AD's This Mortal Coil, Ulrich emerges here as a writer of hauntingly beautiful melodies and deeply poetic lyrics. "Pathways And Dawns" is packed with driving rhythms and meditative ritual patterns of percussion. With some inspired guitar-work, arrangement and production from DCD mastermind Brendan Perry, the result is a pure delight... The album was recorded in two parts, the first in England in 1990, and the second after a long time break in 1996-97, by Brendan Perry at DCD's Quivvy Church studio in Ireland. The album was released on CD in 1999 on the US label Projekt and was dubbed by critics as 'the album the Beatles might have made had the group signed with 4AD instead of Capitol' and 'a wonderful collection of songs that, while in the 4AD school, shimmers with an inner lightness that makes it very different'. This absolute masterpiece of spiritual music, so badly wanted on vinyl for so long, is available now for preorder. Mastered from Original master takes by Martin Bowes (Attrition).

    During the 60s and 70s, American soul and funk crossed the Atlantic Ocean, landed on South Africa's fertile shores, and found a new life in the hands of local musicians who began experimenting, fusing these alien sounds with their own traditional rhythms and jazz, forging a uniquely South African style they dubbed "Township Soul" - an umbrella term for a myriad of musical styles, some of which had no names yet. Competition in Johannesburg was fierce, and for many artists with little more than their instruments and dreams of fame, breaking into the city's music scene was a gamble. Facing police harassment, apartheid pass and curfew laws, they risked everything; yet, driven by ambition, they kept going, unable to resist the pull of music.Centered around record labels, recording studios, and performance venues and inspired by visionary music producers, Johannesburg - also known as eGoli, the City of Gold - became a melting pot of musical ideas as musicians competed, collaborated, and pushed each other forward to create an extraordinary music scene, captured in Soundcity Joburg and highlighted with 22 of the finest "Township Soul" songs that emerged between 1969 and 1981.

    Out of stock

    Recorded in 1995-96 at MCM Studios. Just one look at the many instruments Stephan Micus plays is sure to impress, so too does one's experience of what he produces with them dispel arbitrary interest in those means. Music flows from his fingertips in such an organic way that the source catches light in all of us. Nothing feels out of place. It's worth noting, however, that The Garden of Mirrors makes special use of that most intuitive instrument of all: the human voice. Like water in sunset, Micus's wordless songs collect light years of travel along the glittering surface of their multiplication. Twenty such voices manifest themselves first in "Earth." Accompanied by the bolombatto, an African gut-stringed harp, this world traveler speaks to the very marrow of life. A binary star leaves his lips, the being to our nonbeing. Now available on vinyl.

    Alliance Entertainment Pre-Order: Timbila Ta Venancio - Ecos Do Legado: Chopi Timbila Music (LP) (New (N))

    Out of stock

    The Chopi Timbila is one of Africa's great orchestral traditions. The tradition lives in Zavala, Mozambique, and continually references Chopi ancestors. Their mwenje wood xylophones are tuned in seven equidistant pitches giving them a microtonal quality starkly different from the tempered scale (European classical music, the Beatles, etc). From enormous sub-bass behemoths to higher-pitched, sometimes shoulder-strapped instruments, there are five types of xylophones in the orchestra. They anchor a defined musical structure rooted in rural life and a strong sense of community. The ensembles consist of varying ages and skill levels (beginners through masters) and new song cycles are composed and performed each year. In 2008 UNESCO listed it as Intangible Cultural Heritage and people across Mozambique recognize it as one of the most complex and beautiful forms of traditional music in the region.The seemingly monolithic, chaotic sound of Timbila Ta Venâncio at full tilt is disorienting at first, until the undulations wash over the listener, sync somewhere internally and become invigorating. Yet all the rhythmic energy bubbling through this recording is more than a ritual. It follows a cadence that begins within the family. The group's members are all brothers. That is hardly surprising: they are the sons of the celebrated Venâncio Mbande, a true master of timbila. An icon and the focal point of timbila festivals during much of his lifetime (he died in 2015), leaving us the legacy presented here. Ecos do Legado (Echoes of the Legacy) is a new recording made in a state-of-the-art Studio Bom Dia in Inhambane Province in 2026. This album stands as a monument to the master Venâncio Mbande, a tribute to the Chopi people, and an interpretation of Mbande's unforgettable work.The order of the pieces is not random: they are interconnected and tell a coherent story. The ten pieces unfold in the traditional sequence across two sides: four Mtsitso (introductions) open onto Mgeniso and Mwemiso, before Chibudo, the lively dance, gives way to Mzeno - a nine-minute apotheosis - then Mabandla and the closing Mtsitso Wogwita bring the cycle to rest. The compositions' arrangement follows principles established over the long history of timbila. Learning to play begins very early and unfolds naturally, since children are in constant contact with the instruments. Women, too, are now beginning to take an interest in this cycle of learning. This is a clear sign that the tradition remains vibrant among the Vatxopi, who regard timbila as the heart of their culture.

  • the album cover for Rubel - Beleza. Mas Agora A Gente Faz O Que Com Isso [Indie Exclusive]

    Alliance Entertainment Rubel - Beleza. Mas Agora A Gente Faz O Que Com Isso (LP, Indie Exclusive) (New (N))

    For his fourth studio album, Brazilian troubadour Rubel returns to his roots with a sublime, stripped-back, singer-songwriter classic. Beleza. Mas agora a gente faz o que com isso? which translates to "Beauty. But now what do we do with it?", was produced at home by Rubel and reconnects with his acoustic side: the idea of predominantly using simply vocals, guitar, and strings. A bossa nova and MPB-leaning body of work at it's core, the album is a deeply personal and introspective journey, with the focus directed at the beautiful, simple essence of the songs. Comprising seven original compositions penned by Rubel, the album also contains two majestic covers. 'A la Ventana, Carolina' by El David Aguilar is reworked into Portuguese by Rubel under the title 'A Janela, Carolina' with the air of a long-lost classic. To close out the album, Rubel puts his distinctive spin on Radiohead's 'Reckoner', with the revered Brazilian maestro Arthur Verocai adding to the beautiful, melancholic textures through his string and horn arrangements.The new record brings listeners back to Rubel's origins, focusing on an intimacy and immediacy through voice and guitar that were unveiled on his debut LP Pearl from 2015, and refined on 2018's Casas. The result is a personal and revealing repertoire that contrasts with his last album, the bold, innovative, and collaboratively focused As Palavras Vol. 1 & 2 from 2023. With this fourth album, Rubel is becoming one of the key writers and performers of his generation, on a trajectory heading up to the heights of Joao Gilberto, Jorge Ben, Caetano Veloso, and the classic Brazilian songbook. He has managed to achieve that rare balance of appealing to both the mainstream and the underground in one celestial and cinematic swoop.

    Alliance Entertainment Rubel - Casas [Indie Exclusive] (Blue) (LP, Colored, Indie Exclusive) (New (N))

    Brazilian artist Rubel isn't one to be pigeonholed and typecast into staying in one sound. Casas, the follow-up to his debut album Pearl from 2015, brought a bigger, more epic, and richer production quality to the table. Fusing the worlds of MPB and hip hop, Rubel's sophomore LP built on the momentum of it's predecessor, gaining a Latin-Grammy nomination along the way. Mr Bongo is proud to be giving Casas it's first worldwide release on vinyl and CD outside of Brazil and Japan.The cliché they say is that the second album is always the trickiest; however, Rubel doesn't seem to have had any problems on Casas. It's a fountain of creativity and originality, marking an artist in full flow. Conceived after Rubel spent six months living in Los Angeles, Casas is MPB-leaning at it's core but is also driven by a hip hop inspired pulse. There is a clear influence from hip hop's aesthetic across the 2010s woven subtly but fundamentally throughout. Nods to Frank Ocean, Kendrick Lamar and Tyler, The Creator can be heard across an album full of playful edge and personality. Luscious string-led arrangements and tracks that explore the rich folkloric rhythms of Brazil, sit next to songs with low-fi drum machines and features from acclaimed Brazilian rappers. One of the highlights of the album, 'Mantra', starts with a traditional Brazilian rhythm that morphs into a hazy hip hop beat. A sublime song with a hooky call and response chorus, it features a guest appearance and verse by the Brazilian MC Emicida. Another highlight is the epic 'Colégio' (College) which further showcases the melding of stripped back drum machine beats with cinematic, sweeping arrangements. Elsewhere, 'Partilhar' is a swaying, heartwarming hug. A tale of longing and love that has become a singalong fan favourite at Rubel's concerts.Casas also shines a light on a string of key players in Brazil's new vanguard, such as Pedro Fonte, Gus Levy, and Brazilian rapper / poet Rincon Sapiência to name a handful. The record has pop sensibilities yet also feels underground. It beats with the heart of a singer-songwriter, a feeling that was felt so strongly on Pearl, yet this time is bolstered by a level of arrangement and richness of sound that take it to another dimension - soaring horn and string sections elevating the songs from home recording to stadium-ready anthems. Keeping that intrinsic beauty and simplicity of a well-constructed song yet reframing it within a pop context is the true gift of this album. Casas cemented Rubel's status as one of Brazil's leading contemporary talents and a key figure enriching the country's already effervescent scene.

    Alliance Entertainment Rubel - Pearl (LP, Indie Exclusive Green) (New (N))

    Mr Bongo proudly presents a first-time worldwide vinyl and CD issue of Rubel's debut album Pearl. Self-released on YouTube in 2013, the album quietly became a huge hit in Brazil with the lead single and accompanying video for 'Quando Bate Aquela Saudade' amassing over 85 million views to date. Pearl laid the foundations for Rubel's path to greatness - a first glimpse into the brilliance of a modern-day troubadour and ever-evolving Brazilian artist who deftly mixes classic and contemporary influences. Fusing MPB, folk, pop, and indie, it charts Rubel at his purest and most personal.The journey of Pearl begins with Rubel in his early 20's studying film in Austin, Texas. Immersing himself in the city's vibrant DIY music scene and surrounded by countless musicians who he shared a large house with, he set up a home studio with an assortment of rented gear and recorded the album without any expectations. It was inspired by an environment of youth, music and experimentation Rubel found himself within. The seven songs are an attempt to record and take with him a little of what he lived and learned whilst there. He uploaded the album to YouTube, didn't think much of it and continued to pursue a career in film in LA. Over the next few years however it became a viral hit in Brazil, with a subsequent Brazil only vinyl and CD issue, drawing him both back to Rio and a trajectory to musical stardom.The spirit of Pearl has a timeless nostalgia; it feels familiar from the outset, and whether a Portuguese speaker or not, the songs touch your soul. It's an unpretentious album, with Rubel putting himself, his musicianship and his songwriting upfront and centre. The epic 'O Velho e o Mar' delicately layers acoustic guitar, banjo and vocal harmonies, as the track builds with a simmering intensity and an accordion drifts in across it's final stages. Elsewhere, title track 'Pearl' has a global singer-songwriter aesthetic and could be Thom Yorke at his most acoustic. At nearly seven minutes, 'Quando Bate Aquela Saudade' is an unlikely breakthrough single, but it's message really resonated with the Brazilian / Portuguese-speaking audience. Anyone who has witnessed Rubel live has felt the energy and interplay between musician and audience, with the crowd making this song as much their own as it is Rubel's. A true modern-day classic.'Ben' echoes and channels the Brazilian greats; Caetano Veloso comes to mind whilst listening to this stripped-down tender ballad. The folk-leaning tones of the banjo make a return on the closing 'Quadro Verde'. A cinematic and anthemic track that could easily be imagined soundtracking a Wes Anderson film.Now a global, Latin-Grammy nominated star, Rubel is one of those rare artists who can straddle both mainstream pop success with the humbleness of an independent, underground recording artist. Those roots are on show here on Pearl, embodying an authenticity and rawness that spoke to a generation. We are proud to be able to give a worldwide release to this authentic and unpretentious first chapter in Rubel's story.
