KMRU LIVE

KMRU is a Kenyan ambient artist who has suddenly become a sensation on the experimental scene with his album “Peel” released by Editions Mego. His beautiful, expressive music is rather unhurried and its repetitive nature allows it to transcend states of consciousness. Its essence, however, is not abstraction or a focus solely on sonic meditation. Post-colonial themes and a critique of the objectification and commodification of the cultural assets of colonised countries regularly recur in KMRU’s work.
