Buffering Juju, the title of Dumama + Kechou’s debut album, relates to the process of “excavating spiritually charged contentfrom within”. The duo’s textural sound, driven by cyclical song structures and chant making, not only captures the angst of themodern world but mines this state of affairs for regenerative potential.Recorded primarily in Cape Town and Johannesburg over the first quarter of 2019, buffering juju is a conduit to a pastwe were not necessarily present for, and a future where threatened indigenous technologies thrive in an increasingly digitised world.
