Not a Gag Song: Kabantu and "Gago Grego"

Kabantu, a Manchester-based five piece band, brings us today's random tune. The name Kabantu is a hybrid of Zulu and Sotho languages and means "of the people." Kabantu's philosophy stems from a South African philosophy called Ubuntu and can be summed up in the phrase "I am what I am because of who we all are.” Kabantu's music bridges cultures, countries and their sounds through the musicianship of Manchester native Katie Foster (violin and vocals), South African cellist Abel Selaocoe, Manchester double-bassist Ali McMath, French guitarist Ben Sayah and Leicestershire native Delia Stevens (percussion). This song, Gago Grego, is a Brazilian tune that can be heard on Kabantu's 2018 debut album Of the People.
