Esa Williams - Dala What We Must

Released by BBE Music, Esa Williams' Dala What We Must channels time spent between Cape Town, London, Oaxaca and Nairobi into a warm, brass-backed set of broken beat, jazz-funk and club-rooted rhythm.

Working with Robin G. Breeze and a wider circle of collaborators, Ita Ayelala, Yanga, Kwanini and Summerskin balance elastic percussion, vocal hooks and South African musical memory with an easy, forward-moving groove.
