| Biography | In Kampala’s underground scene, Nsasi is known for his agile style of playing. This Enfant Terrible of the deeply conservative, picturesque town of Jinja, Uganda, earned an early reputation for blunt refusal of authority. Once excommunicated from a seminary in his childhood, Nsasi looked to his icon, the scandalous 1980s pop sensation; Tshala Mwana, as an inspiration for how to live and perform dangerously. Nsasi’s daring sound embodies both a nostalgia for traditional rhythms and sound palettes, and an affinity for hyper-modern, disruptive compositions. Making jumps between disparate sounds is a dominant part of Nsasi’s repertoire, which propels the listener through drastically different tempos and genres. This creates an open space of chances, in which skittered fluxes of acid could collide with Kiganda percussion, or with East African Trap. A fluid, compelling style. |
