about

‘Mumbwe’ is the second single to be released from Tio's forthcoming debut album, Sorousian.

This track is Tio’s reworking of a song used in the Rom custom dance which has continued to hold a special resonance for him since he first witnessed it as a child. The song is a catalyst for sharing and connection as groups of men would come together to sing and perform its accompanying dance in unison. The old language used in this song has been lost, but the sense of shared history remains.

In Tio’s interpretation, his harmonies and overlaid drum rhythms evoke the shared experience of performing this musical tradition on a bed of swelling synths and percussive textures.
