Ancestral avant-garde band The Sun-Xa Experiment have released their album Umculo Umuthi this October, 2020.
On this release the band has captured their “spiritual whirlwind of emotions and thinking. The album comes in at the right time where the world needs vibration healing.”
Listening to cleanse
It features music from Isqalo to Babalekile. The band say: “This is a whole journey and story from the first song to the last. It is ‘listening to cleanse’, and it sparks great memories and the most important thing is it highlights who you are and where you come from as an individual”.
Umculo Umuthi was recorded by Ruben Thomas at LYD Productions in Willrow Park, KZN.
Umculo Umuthi translates to “music is medicine’” This is what the world needs. The band adds: “Everything of it is an experience, the message packed within is of awakening and self-introspection. It is an hour-long album that takes you through a lot when on stage and off stage”.
The cover was hand drawn by Pule Magopa with illustrations by Digging Thoughts. The story behind it concerns organised chaos and cleansing.
