{"product_id":"lori-vambe_drumland-dreamland_2025_lba","title":"Drumland Dreamland","description":"Lori Vambe was born in Harare, Zimbabwe, to his father, Lawrence Vambe, a renowned Zimbabwean journalist and author. Settling in London in 1959, Vambe immersed himself in the Brixton squat movement of the early 1970s, taught himself to play the drums, and formed a short-lived group, The Healing Drums of Brixton (with sculptor Alexander Sokolov and foreign musician Michael O'Shea). Vambe later had a dreamlike vision of a feeling of ecstasy while playing an unknown instrument, made from his own umbilical cord, which would manifest in the form of the drumgita.Drumland Dreamland is one of his two personal recordings made in 1982, alongside Drumgita Solo, both released on his own label Drumony. Drumland Dreamland has been faithfully reproduced from the original artwork on a single vinyl, remastered by The Carvery. Drumland Dreamland is deep and haunting; a dense tapestry of layered percussion, time-warped tape loops, and spiraling drumgita figures, all underpinned by the hypnotic improvisations of Brazilian pianist Rafael Dos Santos. Both ecstatic and unsettling, this recording is a landmark recording of British experimental Black music.","brand":"Lori Vambe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57307707146584,"sku":null,"price":20250808.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/4062548064469.jpg?v=1779009182","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/lori-vambe_drumland-dreamland_2025_lba","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
