About this product

MAKANDA carries the heritage of a modern Africa in which Congolese Rumba is at the forefront. The album, recorded in Seattle, was produced by Tendai Baba Maraire, one-half of the Seattle-based hip hop duo Shabazz Palaces (Sub Pop records). Pierre Kwenders' musical depth is present throughout the 11 tracks, which combine new wave world music, rumba trap and indie afro. He sings and raps in four languages (lingala, French, English, shona), creating aesthetic and lyrical options that most artists do not have. These four languages are the album's cornerstones.

Hem - Rabbit Songs   - VINYL LP

Hem celebrates the 25th anniversary of Rabbit Songs this fall with the album's first-ever vinyl . In it's initial incarnation, Rabbit Songs built momentum slowly but surely. After a limited self- in 2000 and a U.K. on Setanta in 2001, the record gained wider attention when prominent indie Bar/None issued it in 2002. Then came major tag Dreamworks, which re-released it in July 2003, but the absorption of Dreamworks into Interscope after Universal bought the tag limited the album's visibility. It got another life in 2005 when Rounder Records reissued it after releasing the band's 2004 album Eveningland. More fans came aboard in 2006 when insurance company Liberty Mutual featured InchHalf AcreInch in a widely-viewed TV commercial. Rabbit Songs received widespread acclaim from prominent outlets such as NPR, which said of Ellyson's voice InchAll around her, piano notes fall like raindrops, even as she sings about the flames of her heart climbing higher, a heat that makes the rain of the music evaporate into mist.Inch
