Led by the guidance of Fatnice, this Afro-futuristic group delivers a sonic experience like no other, immersing listeners in a dazzling sonic landscape of light, love and sound.

The album kicks off with the electrifying track “Enter The Degabah,” previously released as a 45 single via the group’s label, Culture Power 45. The distorted intricacies of this opening piece serve as a gateway to the sonic adventure that lies ahead. The pulsating beats and alluring melodies instantly capture the attention, drawing the audience into the mesmerising world of The Degabah System.

As the album progresses, tracks like “Up Sibley Blvd.” and “Ben is Here” showcase the soulful style that is a trademark of the trio’s sound, while closing track “The Light of Degabah” concludes the release with a satisfying dreamy jam. Each member, Annie Mae Bonaparte, Malcolm Garvey Dubois, and Mr. Jack Body, brings their unique perspective to the table, each adding their own distinct musical flair. The result is a cohesive fusion of various instrumental elements such as synth, bass, drums and organ.
