A meeting of minds and bodies on a heady percussive trip with no clear destination, captured live at Espacio Cultural El Tanque in Tenerife. With both imaginary and lived in tropical sceneries coalescing the two units, both Tenerife's Lagoss and Kampala's Abagwagwa (aka Nihiloxica) find a common thread to disentangle throughout different cartographies. As if it was bound to happen. As it did. Taking Abagwagwa's relentless barrage of polyrhythms as a starting point to jammin' excursions that never falter into self-indulgence, brimming with ideas and spirits pulled from East African traditions, free jazz cosmologies, Dub tactics, urban sonic warfare and different strains of psychedelia through a vast array of drums, percussion, flutes, skewed synths, ecstatic vocals and electronic processing. Island Slang is a celebration that's truly alluring in its search for some sort of "Universal Consciousness."
