We’re 8 lovely musicians & singers from Africa, India, the Middle East, South America & Europe, bound together on a mission to play our sweeping divine borderless music to you all wherever you are!

For 2021 we've created a new album entirely remotely , online in a shared virtual studio, and the result is NDUGGU: Dust (KONICD012) releasing 26/03/21. Title track 'Nduggu Bouy' (Too Much Dust) is a call for action on our global climate emergency, whilst dust remains a powerful symbol of our ultimate destiny. Here are eight fabulous new internationalist songs of enlightenment and change that cherish the human spirit, its joy and its fragility.
