  • Description

    Fantasma, the project of South African innovator and creative pioneer Spoek Mathambo, is a five-man collective which weaves together electronica, hip-hop, traditional Zulu maskandi music, shangaan electro, South African house, psych-rock and punk to form a unique, original and fresh hybrid.

    The godfather of 'Bacardi House', producer DJ Spoko joins with former Machineri guitarist André Geldenhuys, drummer Michael Buchanan and maskandi multi-instrumentist Bhekisenzo Cele to complete the line up.

    Fused by Spoek Mathambo's futurist vision, Fantasma pulls inspiration from all corners of South Africa: the sounds and spirits of townships and cities as well as the rural countryside. It is diverse not only in its membership but also in its forward-looking music.

    Title track 'Eye of the Sun' kicks off at a frenetic pace, with the interplay between Cele's bass & Geldenhuys psych guitar at the forefront. 'Shangrila' is all sunshine and warmth and features South African artist Moonchild on vocals.

    'Sefty Belt' shimmers over 5 minutes with Geldenhuys's hazy guitar complementing the soul vocals of guest vocalist JOSIAHWISE IS THE SERPENTWITHFEET.
