This new release sees the Geneva-based collective shift from a seven-piece to a quintet, with a new lineup that includes two fresh faces, Emma Souharce (synths and electronics), known for her experimental work with Boxing Noise, and Louise Knobil (bass), who brings her distinctive vocal jazz sensibilities to the group. On the new album, the band blends a wide range of sounds, distilling a mix of post-punk, Afrofunk, disco, dub, krautrock, and East African influences into a cohesive and bold collection of ten tracks. Their upcoming effort \u201cmutates and evolves many times over\u201d, as the press release describes. &#8220;They\u2019re a folk outfit, a dance-party band, a gang of rockers, balladeers, improvisors and general intercontinental musical magpies who know (and show) there\u2019s no reason to limit one\u2019s horizons in this day and age.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We&#8217;ll have to wait until November 7th for <em>2<\/em> to be out through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bongojoe.ch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bongo Joe<\/a> but Yalla Miku have already shared the lead single, &#8216;Alemuye&#8217;, an effusive and joyous track sung in Amharic by the group\u2019s krar player Samuel Ades Tesfagergsh.
