During the twentieth century in Uganda, at the height of the colonial
era, a woman called Muhumusa raised her voice in favour of the freedom
for Africans. She was made a prisoner and, in support of her, a secret
language was created, which used drums to exchange messages among her
followers.
This language received the name of Nyahbinghi, which means
‘freedom for the black’, and three types of drum were used to create it,
each one with a well-defined role and meaning. The Pope Smasher drum,
known also as Bass or Thunder, represents breathing; the Funde drum
represents the heartbeat. Breathing and heartbeat give rise to life,
although a third element is needed, conscience, which is represented by
the Kete drum.
The need to talk about life experiences, reflecting upon my true
learning process after thirty-two years of existence, the will to
recapitulate and synthesize my inner self, brought me to create ‘Inside
the kete heart’.
This project has been gestated for nine months, since
the death of my grandmother to the birth of my first offspring. ‘Inside
the kete heart’ is a being devoid of body, pure and spiritual, which
summarizes the qualities and ideas that define Rampalion philosophy. Ten
songs, ten concepts I consider basic to live in communion with my
fellow man and the planet; the pillars, the principles.
The kete drum, as a channel for invocation and ancestral link, is still
in force nowadays in its mission of manifesting conscience, and, as an
instrument that guides meditation, in the inner journey towards the
discovery of what defines us since the beginning.
The drum peal has the
capacity to make the superfluous vanish, leaving us only with those
things that are of weight. The awareness of the heartbeat, of the
breathing and of the conscience ceasing, in order to welcome a new life
to complete the cycle…the circular membrane of the kete explains it. The
circular itinerary of life is what this album is about; and each song,
each concept within it, from Ancestors to Hope, a link in the chain of
this complete, never ending cycle.
