Mombasa mix

Description

This piece was conceived taking as a starting point various kinds of field recordings carried out in 2012 during the month of Ramadan in the city of Mombasa on the East coast of Kenya. By means of combining interviews, radio samples, environmental recordings and subtle rhythms generated by means of different synthesis techniques the work aims to explores various aspects of contemporary African culture. This work is also a small tribute to the 1981 record ‘My life in the bush of ghost’ by Brian Eno and David Byrne which opened the door to a new world of African sounds.
