about

Drums of Utopia is the new project from MIF Sounds artist Obeka, a collaborative LP that celebrates the connectivity of lives, environments and music culture across different corners of the world.

Drawing on his own journey of discovery, the mini-album was developed during his MIF Sounds residency and features dynamic sounds from a number of countries, including guest appearances from artists such as Mexico’s Ultima Esuna now based in Montreal, South Africa‘s Mxshi Mo, Swedens Bobo, and Brazilian-Amazon native Kid From Amazon.

In Obeka’s own words, “Over the past decade my migration and discovery of global sound-system culture has shown me how important understanding and connectivity of our lives are. Music, alongside present-past sounds from our surroundings and experiences can be channeled so much more and is one of our most vital tools for unity in today’s world. Drums of Utopia aims to use this action to its fullest degree.”

The project is available for pre-order on Bandcamp before its release on all major music platforms on 27 April.

Proudly Supported by Manchester International Festival / MIF Sounds / Factory International
