Lucky Ranku was one of the great guitarists of his era, and ‘Down Lucky’s Way’ was his masterpiece - a beautiful, plangent, hypnotic record. It’s one of the rarest albums of its time and 1 of 2 Malombo albums we’re preparing for release in late 2021... info on the other soon!
We have just put another 50 copies of Bheki Mseleku’s Beyond The Stars up on our bandcamp page since the first batch sold out quick. Check it here -> https://t.co/03J2xyFUhS and thanks to everyone for their support and kind words thus far.
The original Malombo drummer, Mr Julian Bahula, at home. We dropped by today to discuss the next Tapestry Works releases... going to be big, very cool to be working with Julian again...so much experience, so much energy and commitment🪘🔥🪘🔥🪘🔥
