[Tru Thoughts Records]"},"content":{"rendered":"

With members hailing from Kenya, Tanzania, Ghana, Malaysia, Spain and the UK, the Brighton-based band LAKUTA<\/strong>, releases today “Brothers & Sisters<\/em>\u00a0” on the well known \u00a0Tru Throughts<\/a>\u00a0Records !<\/p>\n

10 summertime songs, from\u00a0jazz, soul, afrobeat and latin\u00a0music,produced by renowned producer\u00a0Nick Faber, and a number of remixes already on the way from the likes of Jaguar Skills<\/strong> (BBC Radio 1Extra), Steve Cobby<\/strong> (Fila Brasilia) and Wrongtom<\/strong> (Tru Thoughts).<\/p>\n

Tanzanian\/ Kenyan vocalist Siggi Mwasote<\/strong> has generated her own unique lyrical style, giving a fresh funk-soul twist to the traditional African aesthetic. Many of the lyrics are written in a mixture of Swahili and English and the unique female-led perspective is communicated passionately through the music.<\/p>\n

The word LAKUTA<\/strong> is derived from Siggi’s mother tongue of Swahili and can be translated as a number of things: as a noun, it translates as ‘the walls,’ as a verb, it translates as ‘to find, meet, share or feel full’.<\/p>\n
