The laughter of the children, the crowing of the rooster and the distant churning of the mill are all part of the soundscape featured in the record. The band&#8217;s leader, Emmanuel Mlonga Ngwira, has chosen darker themes for this second album, a choice probably linked to the fact that he faces many existential challenges, having recently lost his home.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=4142516874\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless loading=\"lazy\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kukaya.bandcamp.com\/album\/kukaya-bili\">Kukaya Bili by Kukaya<\/a><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The band brings a more meditative character to this album, working in long tracks that reach a state of trance so sought after in the repetitions of rhythmic sound patterns. Such a performance stems from the local way of interpreting the music. A hypnotizing charm weaves itself into the daily environment. Local songs of ingoma, mitungo and beni harbor strong links to ideas of magic,and&nbsp; it can take the form of a love potion or the reincarnation of a lizard dancer thanks to powerful amulets &#8230; Bewitchment is guaranteed! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Kukaya<\/em> <em>Bili<\/em> will be available on October 27 via <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"1000HZ (s\u2019ouvre dans un nouvel onglet)\" href=\"https:\/\/kukaya.bandcamp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">1000HZ<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1010\" height=\"1010\" src=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/81e370cd-a1142203351_10-1010x1010.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62833\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/81e370cd-a1142203351_10-1010x1010.jpg 1010w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/81e370cd-a1142203351_10-759x759.jpg 759w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/81e370cd-a1142203351_10-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/81e370cd-a1142203351_10-661x661.jpg 661w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/81e370cd-a1142203351_10-465x465.jpg 465w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/81e370cd-a1142203351_10-375x375.jpg 375w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/81e370cd-a1142203351_10-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/81e370cd-a1142203351_10-85x85.jpg 85w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/81e370cd-a1142203351_10-73x73.jpg 73w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/81e370cd-a1142203351_10.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(min-width:1010px) 759px,100vw\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><figcaption>Kukaya &#8211; <em>Kukaya Bili<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This orchestra, composed entirely by Malawian percussionists, offers traditional songs in a rare format.&nbsp; These are raw recordings that the Mzuzu outdoor studio is offering us on the 1000HZ label.
