Lucky Ranku was one of the great guitarists of his era, and ‘Down Lucky’s Way’ was his masterpiece - a beautiful, plangent, hypnotic record. It’s one of the rarest albums of its time and 1 of 2 Malombo albums we’re preparing for release in late 2021... info on the other soon!

Epic & intense in places, with beautiful rolling grooves too: Bheki Mseleku's journey through exile to 'Beyond the Stars' -- powerful, fine 'conduit for the healing energy of music to flow into the world', on new label @WorksTapestry. Listen bit.ly/3h0Uk8a

"He once saw his hero, McCoy Tyner, playing in a real dive. This threw Bheki: he couldn’t understand how someone so gifted had to play in a venue where he was disrespected and unappreciated," writes Rafs Mayet ow.ly/NLtA50EwXQ8 #BeyondTheStars @WorksTapestry
