Ngoma ni Mzito literally translates to ”the drum is heavy”. When we go to the dance, it is easy to make our way to the dance, but coming back from the dance is very laborious. A man who goes to drink, makes his way very easily to the pub, but once he has had his drink, making his way home becomes very difficult.
The song is metaphorical about consequences to our actions. It is easy to get into situations but the consequences might turn out to be too heavy to bear.

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell

An immersive collagework of wavy synths and hallucinatory vocals, with nods toward the frenetic rhythms of Afrobeat. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 8, 2019
