Shungu 'Faith In The Unknown' Launch Party

**Lex Records** presents the launch of **Shungu’s** new album ‘*Faith in The Unknown’*, with a special live performance featuring Shungu and friends. Support comes from *‘Faith in The Unknown’* guest vocalist Goya Gumbani & more TBA.

**Shungu** has carved out a singular space for himself as an innovative, revered voice in the underground hip-hop landscape, blending jazz-infused sampling with cosmic grooves. That personality and distinct ear for instrumentals has cultivated a sense of community across his records. ShunGu’s critically acclaimed debut album ‘*A Black Market Album’* was described by Pitchfork as *“perfectly chosen drums and subtle swagger, reminiscent of nothing so much as golden-age Slum Village and other pre-Donuts J. Dee classics.”*

The new album represents a long held dream to capture a community of inspiring voices, energies and sensibilities on record. That community includes frequent collaborators Pink Siifu, Liv.e, Navy Blue, Maxo, dreamcastmoe, Goya Gumbani, Fatima, Chester Watson, Ruqqiyah, and ZEKEULTRA.

**Goya Gumbani** has performed across the UK, Europe and America as a 5 piece band, solo and a DJ, developing a powerful rapport with his audience. His reputation for fun, raucous sets blend Jazz, Hip Hop and Soul with a personal style. Goya has supported and appeared alongside a cast of underground greats including: Roc Marciano, Yaya Bey, Mavi, Lord Apex, Moor Mother, Speakers Corner Quartet and Billy Woods.
