Sharing a second track from the forthcoming Joseph Kamaru retrospective - check out a remastered version of “Ikĩhanda Mũnyũgĩ” from 1988, an irresistible combination of rudimentary drum machine, keyboard, and surfy guitars supporting a joyful call-and-response Kikuyu vocal.

Lots of labels and artists on the sell today we know, but if you did want to pre-order the forthcoming Joseph Kamaru or Ruth Mascelli & Mary Hanson Scott records, or dig into the library of wonder that is the Disciples back catalogue, then you would be very welcome

Short trailer for the Joseph Kamaru compilation. A proper labour of love this one. Obviously I'm biased but the music is mind-blowingly good. Massive thanks to #KMRU for partnering with us on this very personal family project.
