Bleep

Reissue label favourites Strut present a compilation of Tanzania psych rock legends Sunburst, heavily channeling Ofo The Black Company or Amadou Balake vibes here. Uplifting, full of joyful guitar leads and synth hooks and not to mention some of the lyrics; ‘Music will make you smile, your day will come’ would lighten up anyone’s mood! Sunbursts music is self-referentially ‘Kitoto Sound’, which apparently reflects the diverse backgrounds of each of the band members. Heavily recurring themes include black pride and colonial oppression, and apparently the band even played a gig for civil rights heroine Angela Davis when she visited Tanzania.
