On The Corner Records provide the first taste of a landmark recording that the label embarked upon two years ago on the East African island archipelago of Zanzibar.
Pete On the Corner
was consulting for the ambitious permaculture development of Fumba Town. The story of
Siti Binti Saad
, the mother of Taarab is rooted in Fumba. Pete joined the dots to shine new light on the pioneering life of
Siti Binti Saad
as the innovative town development took shape and looked to connect with the Island's unique history at the center of the Swahili world. Whilst steering a recording project that would celebrate Siti Binti Saad's legacy, Pete brought in producer
Sam Jones
and the pair met with filmmaker
Andy Jones
(who documented the life and work of the legendary
Bi Kidude
) who revealed that Siti Binti Saad had a great grand-daughter,
Siti Muharam
who led a very private life but had a "golden voice". With music director
Issa Matona
on board the scene was set to go beyond celebrating the singular legacy of a Swahili pioneer and find a new hero. Siti Muharam has a golden timbre and on this 7" -- you get the first taste of her debut LP that will represent her great grandmother's legacy for the next generations. The 7" is two tracks which are at the furthest reaches of the LP project. The A-side is a Sam Jones "Construct" of "Ashikibaya", featuring
Tamar Collocutor
, who find new frontiers of this Swahili jazz out across the Indian ocean pushing a cosmic Taarab on the trade winds. The flip is an instrumental affair with Matona driving the stunning "Mandira".
