The Music

Jenifa has been producer, label owner and vocalist since the late 90s with her first release dating back to 1999. Her music appears on Bumako and several labels such Sole Aspect, Hard matter and many more.

In 2007 she created her label Bumako Recordings as an outlet for her unique brand of spiritual house music rooted in storytelling traditions, choral background and love of rhythmic music.

As an artist she treads on her path her own, her music for discerning ears open to new ideas in electronic music. A reviewer described one of her music as, "There's an almost regal quality to Jenifa Mayanja's house music. It's elegant, unhurried and totally unbothered, moving at its own pace with sensual keyboard licks and just the right amount of reverb to get you in the mood."
