RELEASE DATE

Following the immense critical acclaim of Siti Muharam's album
Siti Of Unguja
, On The Corner Records release on transparent vinyl. Crowned Album of the Year 2021 by Songlines,
Siti Of Unguja
was also selected The Guardian's "Global Album of the Month", The Wire's "No.1 Global Album", and included in best albums of the year lists in NPR and The Vinyl Factory.
Siti Of Unguja
tells the story of pioneering women, of the "golden voice" of Siti Muharam, heiress to the singular legacy of her great grandmother, the mother of taarab,
Siti Binti Saad
. On the Corner teases this first taste of a landmark recording that the label embarked upon two years ago on Zanzibar.
Siti Of Unguja
has a transformative atmosphere, brimming with romance, passion, and protest. Zanzibar is an Island archipelago that lies six degrees South of the equator and 30 miles off the East African coast out in the Indian Ocean. Known for its spices, traditional Dhow sailing boats and being a mercantile trading capital of Swahili culture. The modern history of Zanzibar can be animated through the life and legacy of one artist, Siti Binti Saad. Born in 1890 in the small fishing village of Fumba, on Unguja (Zanzibar's largest island), she became the first Zanzibari recording artist and her recordings sold in tens of thousands across the Swahili world. Transparent vinyl; edition of 500.
