Nandele : FF

As a centre of gravity to Maputo’s burgeoning alternative music scene, Nandele Maguni has been a prolific innovator and collaborator, and a challenge to any preconceptions of what is expected from a Mozambican artist in 2020.

Born into a musical household - his father was the first black director of Mozambique's national radio - Nandele has been involved in many of Maputo's recent progressive musical projects, as a drummer, rapper, club promoter, beat maker, and al round polymath.

Fusing industrial and dystopian sound palettes with fragments of traditional instrumentation and mythology, the FF EP showcases a future-facing vision which is tapped into the rich, and often turbulent cultural history of the lusophone diaspora. Chugging EBM-esque rhythms collide with tough Hip Hop beats, dark ambience is met with cascading synth melodies, all tied together with a coherence and minimalism found in the most confident of creatives.
