Album lore
Ubaba, issued in September 2020 on the French label No Format!, collects four tracks from Urban Village, a project rooted in South African folk traditions. The album draws on mbaqanga and maskandi styles, framing them within a sparing, experimental approach. The featured track "Izivunguvungu" appears twice, underscoring its thematic and musical centrality.Urban Village’s work here is a modest yet resonant artifact, with a lean tracklist that invites close attention to rhythmic interplay and string work typical of maskandi. No Format! continues its cataloguing of nuanced South African musical signals, making Ubaba a worthy addition for those attuned to folk lineages and their contemporary inflections.
