Lori Vambe was born in Harare, Zimbabwe and his father, Lawrence Vambe, was a noted Zimbabwean journalist and author. Moving to London in 1959, Vambe immersed himself in the Brixton squat movement of the early 1970s, teaching himself to drum and creating a short-lived performance group, The Healing Drums of Brixton (with sculptor Alexander Sokolov and outsider musician Michael O’Shea). Vambe later had a dream-vision involving a feeling of ecstasy while playing an unknown instrument that extended from his own umbilical cord which would manifest itself as the drumgita. Drumgita Solo is one of his two privately produced home recordings during 1982 alongside Drumland Dreamland, both released on his own label Drumony.

Drumgita Solo has been faithfully reproduced from the original artwork as a single vinyl LP and is remastered by The Carvery.
