Sisso & Maiko | Club SAW

Live recording of: Sisso & Maiko at Club SAW Date: October 9, 2025 Location: Club SAW, Ottawa ABOUT THE BAND/ARTIST: Sisso & Maiko's productions epitomize Singeli’s hyperlocal scenius, distilling the vitality and struggle of life of the fringes of the Swahili-speaking world’s most populous city, into a unique music which seems to reflect the idea of keeping a cool head in frenetic situations. Between their ratchet rhythms and pitched-up melodies there’s a sublime, unresolved tension at play, where the music feels to accelerate so fast that dancers are gliding, sustaining a breathlessly “up” effect that uncannily recalls mid ’90s UK happy hardcore as much as Chicago footwork, Caribbean Soca, and Shangaan disco, yet with a psychotomimetic appeal all of its own. ​ Born in the sprawling working class neighborhoods of Tandale and Manzese, Singeli’s signature sound consists of fast paced frantic loops interlocking with each other, with influences from Zanzibar's Tarab music all the way to South African afro-house coupled with mc’s who often spit satirical lyrics about the challenges facing Tanzania’s youth, from police corruption to the complications of dating girls when you are broke. If there is one studio that stands out amongst the hundreds that dot Dar es Salaam’s musical landscape it is SISSO RECORDS. Centered around producers; Bwax, Sisso, Bampa Pana and Jay Mitta and MC’s Dogo Niga, Kadilida, Anti Vairas and Makavelli, they were early pioneers of the Singeli sound. → https://nyegenyegetapes.bandcamp.com/... _______________________ ABOUT THE EVENT: Debaser is pleased to present a showcase of innovative music from the internationally celebrated Nyege Nyege Tapes label, as part of a cross-Canada tour. The evening will feature electrifying live performances by Tanzanian Singeli pioneers Sisso & Maiko alongside genre-defying French-Cameroonian artist Violence Gratuite. Founded as a club night in Kampala, Uganda, Nyege Nyege began with a mission to create a safe, supportive space where East African DJs, musicians, and artists could take creative risks, share ideas, and build community.

With its own booking agency and relentless innovation, Nyege Nyege continues to champion a new generation of boundary-pushing creatives.
