The Independent Label Market is coming back on the 3rd of July on Bandcamp for a global online label market, and we are more than happy to include our upcoming release Afropentatonism in their selection.

As the Covid19 pandemic has put the music industry on hold, the ILM is going online, and teams up with Bandcamp to support independent labels from Europe and beyond!

On 3rd July, when Bandcamp is waiving its revenue share for 'Bandcamp Friday', connect to the ILM Bandcamp page to find special offers from the best indie labels around the world, available for 24 hours and with 100% of sales going directly to the independent labels.

We are excited to announce that the new album of Alhousseini Anivolla & Girum Mezmur, "Afropentatonism", is now available worldwide on a 180g Vinyl and CD format!

Accompanied by a pan-African All-Star band, the two musicians fuse Desert blues and Ethio-jazz in an album that features repetitive grooves, hypnotic jams and raw guitar sounds.



Afropentatonism is also streaming online and you can listen to it on Bandcamp // Spotify // iTunes // DEEZER and more.
