Item Information

Artist: Dumama
Title: Towards an Expanse
Genre: Indie & Alternative / Experimental Music
Label: Soundway Records

Towards an Expanse Follows the acclaimed 2020 collaborative album
“Buffering Juju” with Kechou, a fellow South African musician and artist,
lauded as Global album of the month and “a wonderfully inventive debut”
in The Guardian.

Sometimes gospel, sometimes electro-psychedelic space travel, the
project starts with a languid lament that whispers a close-to-the-ear
invitation up and between the folds of what unfurls into an ever-
expanding sonic universe.

Towards an Expanse began in 2019 at Figure 8 Studios (Brooklyn, NYC)
under the generous guidance of Shahzad Ismaily. It was written in Port
Alfred and Cape Town and matured in Berlin and has evolved into a
companion, a pulsating vessel of grief, vitality, and reclamation. The album
meditates on learning to live with damage while regaining autonomy over
how Black life is archived: a dialogue between the artist, her ancestors,
voices like Miriam Makeba, Busi Mhlongo, Princess Magogo, Madosini, and
the psychoacoustics of South Africa’s lore as a timeless technology. It
brings these elders into a conversation with Dumama’s global orientation
and experimental sensibilities.
