Overview
In March this year I formed a new jazz quintet in Johannesburg, we are called MABUTA. I'm super excited by the energy that the members of the group brought from the first rehearsal, and I really want to get the band recorded this year while the iron is hot. Your contribution will allow us to create an album of our new music, and you'll get some great rewards in exchange.

Hello everyone!

My name is Shane Cooper.  I am a bassist and composer living in Cape Town, South Africa.  I've been working in various bands and musical projects for over 10 years.  In March I formed a new 5 piece group with some of my favourite South African musicians in Johannesburg called MABUTA. The band is myself on bass, Bokani Dyer on piano and synths, Marlon Witbooi on drums, Sisonke Xonti on tenor saxophone, and Robin Fassie-Kock on trumpet. Our music draws influence from jazz, world music, and electronic music.  We have a body of new songs, and we are ready to get into studio to make an album!

In addition we have some incredible producers from all around the world creating remixes of our music.  They include: Daedelus (Brainfeeder, Ninja Tune), Slugabed (Ninja Tune, Anticon), Kid Fonque (Stay True Sounds), Jazzuelle (Get Physical Music), and more surprises.

In the internet age record labels are struggling.  There is less money to support bands that need to get into recording studios. Most of us are independent.  This can be good, as there is a freedom awarded to an independent artist which allows for total creative control, enabling the musician to fully realise their creative vision.  The main hurdle is the high cost of production and post-production.

I have an album's worth of new unreleased songs for MABUTA.  I'm asking you to contribute, and help us make this debut album.  Who needs corporate record labels, when we can have a community invested in culture!

WHAT WE NEED & WHAT YOU GET

We need $8000 to record the album we envision, have it mixed and mastered, have a beautiful artwork made for the cover, and print CD's and vinyls. 

There are several perks you can choose from: you can get CD's, limited edition 7-inch vinyls, and digital versions of the album (all delivered once the album is created), PLUS T-shirts, tote bags, and exclusive performances in your home (or wherever you choose), and more! 

Even if you can't afford to contribute, you can help by spreading the word!

To get going just scroll through the perks on the right and click what you like.  If you don't do credit cards or PayPal, you can also EFT me directly - just send me an email at shaneleecooper@gmail.com for details.

Please also feel free to send any questions my way!

Thanks everyone!
