The voice at the heart of the track belongs to Idd Aziz. The voice is at once a rasp and a flow. It gathers its partners, Rancido, AfroTura, and Bun Xapa, around it.

MoBlack Records says: "One of the most illustrious voices in Afro-House brings together an orchestra of gifted producers, rendering a standout collaboration that vibrates the equilibrium of individuality and harmony. Pulsating Idd Aziz's lyrical balladry at its marrow, 'Kibe' gathers Bun Xapa, Rancido and AfroTura to suture an exploration through the mystique of Afro techno and depths of house. An effervescent patchwork of indigenous instruments, airy melodic progressions and sublime synth-driven cadences, 'Kibe' oscillates through the emotive swells in Idd Aziz's poignant rasp."

The track's percussion and its harmony are split evenly. The drum figure is an even one; it holds the track to a soft level with a middling headroom, half bright at the top. The release of 'Kibe' lands 12 May 2023.

Rancido is the most veteran of the group, with 33 releases since 14 April 2011, mostly on King Street Sounds (15), Click Records (four), Innervisions (two), Get Physical Music (two); the most recent before this was 'Abstract Latin Jazz Vibes, Vol. 2' on King Street Sounds, 3 December 2021.

A steady pursuit of deep-rooted rhythms, continuously repleting in redemptive discovery and lingering inward vibrations.
