President Bongo - Serengeti
We are happy about the new addition to our publishing roster: President Bongo with his album „Serengeti“ (originally released in 2015), merging electronica with tribal soundscapes.
February 06, 2019
Combining electronica, tribal sounds and clubby soundscapes, "Serengeti" is a masterfully composed approach to the fascination of what the Serengeti and the whole region represents.
President Bongo states:
"Every year, the beasts of the Serengeti region rush northwest across the endless plains in search of fields for grazing. It’s a tremendous sight: Millions of mammals headed in the same direction like a river of majestic proportions, flowing across the vast land towards the ocean. Six months later the zebras and wildebeests and gazelles return south, once again sealing an infinite loop. Animal hearts brimming with blood, thumping as they traverse Africa; this is the sensation Serengeti evokes for its listener. Ancient dust stirred by the great migration rises and settles in a new corner of the plain. The land is forever altered, yet the same. Whencever the wind blows, nature’s rhythms are unaffected. They are undying, relentless, constantly shifting and we are all subject to them. No use resisting. Serengeti is a return journey. Although committed to plastic it never feels like the same route taken. The winds change, the dust re-settles, you mature, the music morphs. You close your eyes and your mind rushes across the plains under the burning sun just like it was the first time."
