The wait was truly worth it:

During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Ancient Astronauts embarked on recording their latest album, "Cypher Kabaka." This project is a dynamic collaboration with BA Cypher Kabaka, an indigenous Hip Hop group from Kampala, Uganda. The album fuses conscious Hip Hop and Reggae, showcasing the remarkable talent from the Pearl of Africa.

A special shoutout to the Goethe-Institut for making this collaboration possible through a COVID-19 artist grant. This support provided the artists of BA Cypher Kabaka with financial stability during challenging times, allowing them to focus on writing and recording their powerful lyrics. Much respect!

Come and experience for yourself the incredible talent emerging from Uganda and East Africa!

Neues Release kommt am 28. Juni 2024

Recorded during the corona days. Recording and little life support during those times was made possible by the Goethe-Institut.

Big Thanks 🙌

Otherwise this nice piece of Indigenous Hip Hop from Uganda could not have been recorded back then.

Beats & Rhymes universal ✨

The new single by Ancient Astronauts & Phitzo Kiganda:

10/05/2024

Today is the release of the new Ancient Astronauts single "Sekalootera feat. Phitzo Kiganda" through Switchstance Recordings.

"Sekalootera" delves deep into timeless themes of spirituality, positivity, and indigenous values, reflecting Phitzo's unwavering reverence for Jah Rastafari and his divine wisdom. With lyrics steeped in humility and gratitude, Phitzo imparts a powerful message of caution, urging listeners to tread the path of life with discernment.

In his verses, Phitzo paints a vivid narrative of the perennial struggle against malevolence and deceit. He warns against the treacherous intentions of those who seek to exploit and undermine, emphasizing the importance of resilience and righteousness in navigating life's complexities.

Drawing on rich cultural imagery, Phitzo metaphorically likens life's challenges to the nurturing of crops, cautioning against the parasitic tendencies of those who seek to reap where they haven't sown. Through his impassioned delivery, he underscores the paramount significance of familial bonds and the enduring strength derived from walking the path of truth and integrity.

"Sekalootera" serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. With its infectious rhythm and thought-provoking lyrics, the track stands as a testament to Phitzo Kiganda's artistic prowess and Ancient Astronauts' innovative production.
