Africa




The latest from the new Africa Express album EGOLI features Acholitronix pioneer Otim Aplha, producer and songwriter Georgia and funk duo Radio 123.

“One of the highlights of making EGOLI was working with and getting to know Otim Alpha,” Georgia remembers of Mama’s recording in Johannesburg last year. “He has become such a close friend. I was utterly blown away by Otim’s talents. To be honest, he is one of the most talented musicians I have ever come in contact with.

“When we came together, ‘Mama’ poured out of us in an afternoon; it was so special, one of those moments you can’t really describe. Magical actually. Otim’s music is amazing, Uganda is amazing and the projects he is involved in are a testament to basically everyone wanting to work with him. I hope you enjoy our song.”

As well as Damon Albarn, there’s collaborations across the album with artists such as Gruff Rhys, Nick Zinner and Moonchild Sanelly. It’s out this Friday.
