Album   $2
First song I've ever written entirely in swahili. The music felt almost like some kind of French Phoenix vibe so .. had to pull it back to Africa, which is a Venn this project will always experiment with. Let us know what you think.. just curious!

Artist picture
Mumbuni is a band from Tempe, Arizona. Jonathan Mafi - vocals David Pond - Drums, Josef Boning on Guitar. live by summer, album by EOY.
We are a new band hailing from Tempe, Arizona in the US. Hi. My name is Mafi. We're heading to a 4 or 5 or maybe even 6 piece.. but currently there are 3 of us. I grew up in Mumbuni where there was this amazing 700 year old tree called a Mumbu tree. The Mumbu tree died in 2006 but it came calling me in 2024 with something of an origin story that started this band and brought actually all 3 of the current members out of remission - but holy crap y'all what's emerging is so fun and fresh and cool - almost can hardly wait to share with with the world. Until then, I'll share the demos where I aimed to get the ideas cogent enough to just jump in with a band and boy has that been the right plan and working so so well. Ok TLDR alert - cheers. thank you for taking a moment here.

Story behind the song
First attempt at a song written in Swahili.. First attempt in YEARS at a love song of sorts.. really is a sweet sentiment driving it. First overt dip into the POP Venn in a minute, too. Our material is becoming increasingly psych rock once brought to live.
