about

December 9th 2022 marks the launch date of Bantu Spaceship's debut album first single.


Don’t Break immediately tickles the heart with its intricate Sungura guitar riff and trap bass causing a tingling to the soul which is fueled by the bouncy rhythm. The song officially introduces the sounds of Zimbabwe's classic music, seen through high tech lenses. This is where the mark of Joshua Chiundiza, the main composer behind Bantu Spaceship, really shows up, unmasked, as he unveils what is possibly the future of authentic Zimbabwean music. The magic touch comes from contributing guitarist Sam Mabukwa - lead guitarist of Ngosimbi Crew, a band best known for their late 90s hit Pamuchato WaTobias. Mabukwa's Sungura skills serenade the urban swag into a breathtaking sound that surely reaches other planetary lifeforms! Ulenni makes a sincere plea to a lover to spare him the pain of a heartbreak. His delivery and vocal tone are reminiscent of the legendary Solomon Skuza, likely to cause a deja vu effect on those who have experienced the music of that era.
Chiundiza's production sounds like something that was picked out of the archives of the mid-eighties Jit and Chimurenga music and then carefully blended with elements of Disco and Electronic sounds. His mix makes for a beautiful excursion through a landscape of memories lived and futures imagined. Ulenni Okandlovu, serves as the voice, the Captain of the ship, guiding us by way of Ndebele chants, laid back melodies and poetic verses. His calm nature enhances the experience as it sits comfortably on the music, creating the illusion that making music like this is an easy feat; it isn't - uniqueness never is.

lyrics

She looked into my eyes & said look straight into my eyes love
Promise me you won’t break my heart

Please don’t break my heart please don’t break my heart.
She said, please don’t break.

Don’t Break is a love song.
