Nyege Nyege announces new mixtape series, feat. Jay Mita, Sisso, The Modern Institute, and Errorsmith; first release coming THIS FRIDAY

·

Yup. It’s a lot to take in. Here’s the story:

In a two-week period that followed the 2018 edition of Nyege Nyege Festival, artists Jay Mita, Sisso, The Modern Institute, and Errorsmith “met up, hung out and lived together at the Villa in Kampala with the extended Nyege Nyege family.” THE END.

Ha. No. Just kidding. That’s just the beginning.

See, over the span of those 14 precious days, the collective ended up making A LOT of new music together (you know, like you do when you’re CHILLIN’ AT A VILLA with a bunch of musicians). The results? 50-plus unreleased tracks and remixes which “offer an experience as close as you’ll get to the festival’s energy without actually touching down on the Equator.”

And now, the first 20 or so of that exuberantly-engendered batch of HIGH N-R-GY DANCE TRAX has been expertly compiled (by The Modern Institute) for the first installment of…*drumroll*… the Nyege Nyege mixtape series!

The 56-minute mix will be available (natch) as a cassette and download THIS FRIDAY, November 29. You can grab yours here and check out a sample track down below. Unless the “quicksilver drums,” hotfooting rhythms,” and unbridled enthusiasm of African dance music aren’t your kind of thing?
