Zimbabwean Afro-Futurism? Oh yes… We are supercharged to be able to premiere the excellent second single from Bantu Spaceship’s forthcoming self-titled album for Nyami Nyami Records.

Traditional chiming guitars courtesy of Sam Mabukwa of Ngosimbi Crew and gorgeous male harmony voices meet the toughest of drum machine kick drums and juddering synths to create something that is both reminiscent of 1980s ‘Jit’ music (a mixture of ‘chimurenga’ and Western influences popularised by the legendary Bhundu Boys) and a classic electro sound with heavily compressed 808 drums gut-punching through the speakers. The whole album knocks hard and we can’t wait to road test it!

The single will be released on Jan 20th 2023 on Nyami Nyami Records!
