The Story Behind The Pain by Tumi and the Volume
Back story
Tumi and the Volume is a South African group that has recently reached an international audience. In 2002, MC Tumi Molekane met a Johannesburg-area house band during an open mic poetry night and the group was formed. They are a musically and lyrically progressive band, who Mos Def calls “The Roots of Africa.” Enough said.
Why this song
This song showcases Tumi’s conversational MC style, and the group’s musicality, including jazz guitar and yes, a trombone solo! This track is from their self-titled album, recorded in 2005, released locally in 2006, and finally available worldwide in 2009. If you like world music and hip-hop, this is a group worth exploring.
