The story of the “Mpemba Effect” provides a dramatic parable cautioning scientists and teachers against dismissing the observations of non-scientists and making quick judgments about what is impossible.

A Tanzanian high school pupil named Erasto B. Mpemba noticed during a cookery class in 1969 after freezing hot ice cream, that hot water freezes faster cold water. Mpemba shared his discovery with a visiting physics professor, Dr. Denis Osborne, and together they published their rediscovery of Aristotlean physics: that hot water freezes faster than cold water under certain conditions.

This contradiction is captured in the music of Mpemba Effect - a blend of Pan-African elements with modern urban grooves. It has down-tempo urban lounge feel with ethnic sounds and African rhythms, cafe lounge, urban vibes. The result is a vibrant journey that seamlessly moves through hypnotic rhythms and heartfelt melodies and lets you find the science of chilling that lies within.
It’s an album that you can listen to, relax to and also dance to.
