Brian Bamanya is the first person to build DIY modular synth setups in Africa, hence his alias Afrorack. The 30-year-old engineering wizard started his music journey playing guitar and creating his own instruments, until he dove into the world of modular synths.
Based on his own experimentations and online findings, Bryan developed an extensive home-built modular synth set-up on which he’s been performing for the last two years during dazzling improvised live-sets mixing African rhythms, techno and acid house.
Review from Bandcamp's Best Albums of 2022:
"If Khyam Allami made headlines last year for decolonizing the software of electronic music production, Ugandan musician Bamanya Brian (aka Afrorack) made history in 2022 for doing the same for hardware. While his Afrorack equipment garnered attention back in 2019 as the first African DIY modular synth, it was only this year that its musical potential was made manifest. Afrorack uses the modular system not just to imitate Euro-American sounds, but to disrupt them with East African rhythms and scales. Taken along with other Nyege Nyege-affiliated artists like Pisco Crane, Brian and his Afrorack stake an African counterpoint to Euro-American narratives of innovation."
