In contrast, his new album, On the Romance of Being was recorded live with an ensemble of thirteen musicians, many songs being first take.Desire Marea comes to Brisbane/Meanjin with a five-piece band, his new record and songs that sonically sprawl post-gospel, spiritual jazz and the ancient music of the Nguni and Ndau peoples.Be transported in a wave of ecstatic energy as Desire Marea journeys through the depths of desire and passion.
