In 2018, Nyege Nyege Tapes combed through the artist's work forensically on 'Ekuka', picking out the finest examples of his sound from recordings made by keen-eared listeners who caught his performances on Ugandan radio. Ekuka had never kept any of these tracks; living frugally in Lira, Northern Uganda, he doesn't even own a device to listen to the music. So when he eventually heard the anthology, it triggered an epiphany. The songs - recorded between 1978 and 2003 - brought memories flooding back; some of his bandmates have long since passed away, and Ekuka was suddenly reminded of old friendships and long-forgotten life events. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollowing this revelation, and for the first time in his life, Ekuka finally stepped into a proper studio, spending two weeks re-discovering and re-recording his old songs. These new versions capture the artist's virtuosity in microscopic detail: the characteristic rattling sound of his lukeme, an ancient African thumb piano, takes pride of place, but his assertive, agile voice also sounds as if it's been unlocked. On previous recordings, his words were often obscured by saturation, distortion and radio static, and here they're presented\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e with startling clarity as he deconstructs social issues, telling winding, poetic (and often humorous) stories in the griot tradition. Sparse polyrhythmic percussion rattles against the euphoric rhythmelodic thumb piano tones, while Ekuka's voice anchors the music in the daily realities of Northern Uganda. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn the opening track 'MITO MON OMEGU', Ekuka stacks quivering lukeme phrases into a tense rhythmic foundation, dancing around the buzzing notes with clipped, casual rhymes that untangle the stresses and strains of romancing a brother's wife. And he travels further into the moral grey zone on 'ICO AWILO KOTI ME KWALO ORANGA', telling the tale of a man who buys a coat to steal beans over an irregular, woody rhythmic knock. The album's de-facto single 'TEC ME OT JOK' is about local witch doctors, and is the first song Ekuka has accompanied with a video. Colorful and cinematic, it juxtaposes footage of his performance - showcasing his lukeme playing in vivid detail - with local dances and narrative snippets that dramatize the interplay between a medicine man and his community. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEukua is an endlessly inquisitive presence, mixing public service announcements ('ONYO OCOLO' is about paying taxes, while 'CIL PACO' details personal hygiene) with questions about village morals, like on 'OPWODO DAKO PI KUNYU OMOGO' when he recounts an incident when a woman is beaten for harvesting cassava. Everything's presented with an invitation to dance and to reflect, delivered with pathos and mischievous charm by an artist who's seen life's full spectrum in intimate detail. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist : Ekuka Moriss Sirikiti\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel : Nyege Nyege Tapes\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2024-11-16T18:33:33+09:00","created_at":"2024-11-16T15:13:51+09:00","vendor":"Tobira Records","type":"","tags":["field recording","lp","new","nyege nyege tapes","strange beats"],"price":435800,"price_min":435800,"price_max":435800,"available":false,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":46864877125882,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":false,"name":"Ekuka Moriss Sirikiti \/\/ TE-KWARO ALANGO-EKUKA LP","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":435800,"weight":430,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/a0688575609_10.jpg?v=1731748903","\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/0035935242_10.jpg?v=1731748905"],"featured_image":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/a0688575609_10.jpg?v=1731748903","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":35195659452666,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1200,"width":1200,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/a0688575609_10.jpg?v=1731748903"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1200,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/a0688575609_10.jpg?v=1731748903","width":1200},{"alt":null,"id":35195659550970,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.33,"height":902,"width":1200,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/0035935242_10.jpg?v=1731748905"},"aspect_ratio":1.33,"height":902,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/0035935242_10.jpg?v=1731748905","width":1200}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e北ウガンダの親指ピアノ'ルケメ'奏者Ekuka Moriss Sirikitiが、2024年8月にウガンダ・カンパラのレフトフィールド・ダンスレーベルNyege Nyege Tapesからリリースしたレコードです。\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eアフリカン・プリミティブフォーク10曲を収録。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=1378950938\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eレーベルその他作品は\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/hakku\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/hakku\"\u003eこちら\u003c\/a\u003e \/\/\/ Click \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/hakku\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/hakku\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e to see more Hakuna Kulala \/ Nyege Nyege Tapes releases available at Tobira. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e----------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12\" black vinyl.
