Desire Marea – On the Romance of Being, Vinyl 2xLP

The Amandawe, South Africa-based artist Desire Marea returns with his transformative second album, On the Romance of Being.

Immersed in the communal, ceremonial and healing qualities of music, this record is the next epoch from the multidisciplinary artist and follows his acclaimed solo eponymous debut. Recorded live with an ensemble of 13 musicians, On the Romance of Being consists of 8 movements that sonically sprawl across post-gospel, spiritual jazz, black classical and the ancient music of the Nguni and Ndau peoples and elicits a sincere conversation between the erotic and spiritual.

Pressed on double black vinyl with etching on side D. Artwork by Athi-Patra Ruga. Includes 8 page booklet
