Label: Five Easy Pieces
A proper rootsy charm from Reginald Omas Mamode IV, channelling rich vibes from his family’s Mauritian heritage along with very strong nods to J Dilla and Madlib, and a ear attuned to sounds from Caribbean, South London, and the US
"Where We Going?" was partly recorded on a journey to the Mascarene Islands in search of family roots. 'he album is reflective of the search for this lineage, which branches from ancient Mauritian Maroons - whose rich heritage, music and culture includes an unrecognised, undocumented resistance to colonialism - though Swahili and Malagasy to sugarcane plantation Creole slave descendants.
