Rhythmic Ugandan spiritual music collected in new Mubashira Mataali Group EP on Blip Discs

Hypnotic traditional drums and vocals direct from Kampala.

Blip Discs is releasing a new 12″ from the 25-member Mubashira Mataali Group this March.

The five-track EP features Islamic devotional songs often performed during weddings, pilgrimages and worship, filled with chanting, call-and-response and trance-inducing rhythms.

Mubashira Mataali Group is lead by Sulaiman ‘Sula’ Sulait, an actor and musician based in Kampala.
