Owiny Sigoma Band's final instalment: The Lost Tapes

The final instalment of the critically acclaimed collaborative project, Owiny Sigoma Band…'The Lost Tapes' is available now across all streaming platforms.

Founded in 2009, the Owiny Sigoma Band began during a cultural exchange project in Kenya entitled ‘The Art of Protest’. A group of London based musicians including Jesse Hackett, his brother Louis and school friend Tom Skinner were introduced to local musicians Joseph Nyamungu and Charles Owoko. Whilst both of them were singers, Nyamungu specialised in playing the Nyatiti, a stringed lute popular amongst the Luo people in western Kenya, whilst Owoko would play the Nyaduonge drum.

This album harbours a sophisticated set of sounds that seem to coalesce so seamlessly. It is a timeless piece of music that accentuates the importance of different cultures collaborating with sincerity and quality.
