Djouma EP by MAUGLI

Fulani features chants from the Fulani (Fulbe) people, closer from the Wodaabe tribe from Nigeria.

Hadza features a stringed bow and some occasional vocals from the Hadza people from Tanzania. This stringed bow, as seen on the cover, is used for musical performance and for hunting. In this form it's one of the oldest musical instruments in known history.

The two tracks come from a series which’s work titles where “Stur”, “Stur2” and “Stur3”, which resemble the way of producing quite well: smacking drums, a dirty sample and a simple sinewave subbass. This rough and reduced way of producing led to this very dry and abstract songs, which I feel have and strong, present and livley drive.

The name Djouma was inspired by a sample in the mentioned third track which is not on the EP, but appears to be a male firstname. So at this point: shout out to all them Djoumas out there! Y'all have a cool name!
