Inspired by the legendary Misfits and the early 80's punk scene along with Audre Lorde's "Our Dead Behind Us" GTMM and Discos Ifá team up for this new DIY ÌFÉ tee. Ashé Bogbo Egun, roughly translates to "power to all deceased". Coming on the heals of ÌFÉ's recent EP "The Living Dead | Ashé Bogbo Egun" this punk style tee doubles down on the idea that our dead are with us always, whether we can see them or not.

Of the shirt Mun says, "I wanted to make something that would play on the notion that there are things around us, significant and powerful, that we may not be able to see with the naked eye, but that often leave traces of their presence if we know what to look for or how to look. I remember as a kid being fascinated by TV detectives "dusting for fingerprints", that these prints, these traces of something were there the whole time but we couldn't see them. There's something of that in our relationship to the deceased. Our dead are with us always, even though we can't see them we know that they're there."

Each shirt is hand painted by ÌFÉ front man and GTMM shopkeeper Otura Mun using a special fabric spray paint making each shirt a one of a kind affair. These are super duper DIY style and pretty damn limited on the quantity side since they take forever to make. Grab yours today before they're gone!!! Oh, and we also recommend ripping the sleeves off right out the box... Just saying ;)

Inspired by the legendary Misfits and the early 80's punk scene along with Audre Lorde's "Our Dead Behind Us" GTMM and Discos Ifá team up for this new ÌFÉ DIY crewneck sweatshirt.

We went with classic Hanes Comfortsoft Crews on this one so the fit is spot on and the sweatshirts and super soft and comfy. These are total DIY style and pretty damn limited on the quantity side.

about

A new 3 Song EP from internationally acclaimed electronic artst ÌFÉ.
Perfomed and recorded live by Otura Mun and Lavoski at Otura Mun's spirtual house and recording studio ILÉ ÌFÉ.

"One of the things that has helped me confront the difficulty in dealing with the sadness and pain associated with the deaths of those around us is my belief that death in the physical world is not the end. As part of my spiritual practice I commune with my ancestors on a daily basis, praying for their upliftment and light for their assent, while asking for their blessings and support in my everyday life. The idea being that we are all on the same wheel of life at different points. Each playing our role to support and honor the others. The Living Dead I Ashé Bogbo Egun is my interpretation of traditional ceremonial Lucumi (Yoruban Diaspora) prayer songs in honor of the dead. The music features ceremonial Bata drumming performed electronically in ÌFÉ's signature style, each movement building in intensity. Ifá teaches us in the odu Yekun Meji that we should not fear death but embrace it as a natural part of life. As we approach the end of 2020 I felt that it was important to acknowledge and celebrate those who have passed before us. Ashé Bogbo Egun, 'power to all deceased'. " - Otura Mun

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
