"Gumbo Gumbo" is the second studio album from Guranfoe, three years on from their critically acclaimed debut "Sum of Erda". Some of the music on "Gumbo Gumbo" was written over 10 years ago during the beginning of the band, while other sections were written just prior to recording in August 2020. It is a rebirth of the oldest Guranfoe material, once again pushed to its limits in the studio by featuring guest musicians playing flute, saxophones, percussion and more.
Guranfoe is a four-piece rock band from Norwich, England whose music forges psychedelia, and prog intricacy. These styles combine with years of cohesive group playing to produce a live show defined by medleys of prog compositions and extended improvisation.
