Take A Journey In The Bantu Spaceship

"A journey that feels like you are being taken through a portal into another time, Afrofuturism."

A pair of songs from a pair of Zimbabwean musicians who make up Bantu Spaceship. They are Joshua Madalitso Chiundiza - whose previous project was a hip-hop band called The Monkey Nuts - and Ulenni Okandlovu. They mix rootsy music of Zimbabwe with something that, if you were looking to describe it in one word, you could maybe go with "trippy." As Chiundiza put it, in an interview with Afropop Worldwide:

"You know, in the songs 'Journey to Misava' and 'Misava the Arrival,' we're trying to shift from one point to the next so that people have a fuller understanding, or a better understanding of what Zimbabwe is about and where we come from. So 'Journey to Misava' is the beginning. It's sort of encouraging people to retrace their steps, tap into their heritage, tap into their roots, and use that as a blueprint to start this process of shifting from one point to the next. It's more of a cultural message."
