11. Zimbabwenim Adubada (Buguinha Dub's Version)

A slow-temp afro- melody. Ibeyi. The Ibeyis are black twins dressed in red. Joined by an umbilical cord, they can not separate. They protect children, represent luck, fortune, intelligence and vice for gambling

Mundo Meu is Flavia Coelho’s latest album that sees her going back to her roots plunging into an urban jungle with coloured native slang.

Unfolding her inner world like an immense, multicoloured urban map, her flow resonates to an urban Baile Funk; Repente becomes Afrobeat; Forró and Samba find a new life fuelled with Hip-Hop; African roots join Kanak chants; Bolero joins Ragga while East European music becomes tropical via Jamaica.

2. Myriam Makeba - Xica da Silva

Orchestre Negros Star De Dakar has to be one of the most well kept secrets in the world of Afro-Cuban music. Basically no information is available of this Senegalese/Ivorian group and not a single track has been available online before. All their now absolutely scarce 7" records were made in Ivory Coast and the group backed talents like Papa Seck and Charly-Charly.

This mix is combination of two EP's released in Ivorian label Safie Deen in late 1960's to early 1970's and they are both straight Afro-Cuban magic. The recent interest in Afro-Cuban music in general and the likes of Amara Toure, Orchestre Baobab and Super Star De Dakar has brought this music to new audiences and I have been amazed that this group has remained practically hidden for this long. Enjoy and comment/share if you like what you hear.

In 2017, Lagartijeando (Mati Zundel), released his second full length album ‘El Gran Poder,’ via Wonderwheel and subsequently hypnotized the masses with the way he laced the traditional Charango playing that he picked up traveling the Andes with the pulsing, digital-cumbia electronica that’d been popularized in the region by the likes of Chancha Via Circuito, Nicola Cruz, and beyond. El Gran Poder plucked Zundel from his small town of Dolores in Argentina and catapulted his sound onto a global stage. He was revered by the likes of The Fader and Bandcamp, who referred to him as an electro-folk alchemist - and that he is. 

On June 7, Lagartijeando casts a new spell with Jallalla, an ambitious new full length being released on Wonderwheel Recordings. Jallalla is a word used in Bolivia to celebrate something- and it’s a word that strengthens in meaning when more people say it together. Jallalla is an entire life in an album - beginning with what would be the sonic representation of pulling back reeds to discover a new path with the song Villazon-Potosi and its sparse electronic percussion gradually filled in with curiosity-giving winds. Following is joyful charango riff that becomes the base for the track La Frontera, which features the sweet, wispy voice of Minük, the Colombian artist Alejandra Ortiz, known as half of the duo Lulacruza. As the album progresses, it becomes more experimental with electronic elements, sneaking in bits of deep house and dub. The fourth track is called Caña, and is a collaboration with none other than Chancha Via Circuito. It’s minimal and haunting, playing with repetitive bass, chimes, and what sounds like owl sounds. Zundel’s beloved charango sneaks back in via the next track, Adios Potosi, continuing the trek with a sweet melodic mid-album break. On the track A Todo Pai, one that celebrates Latin American identity (a todo pai, un solo maiz, repeats the song), Zundel collaborates with Javier Arce - lead singer of the Costa Rican indie-funk band Cocofunka, whose peculiar and infectious voice adds new layers onto the album. The last few songs are a mix of meditative electronic tracks and life-giving dance-floor ready numbers, all lending to Jallalla being a celebration of life and the various adventures it contains. 

Jallalla is out on June 7 via Wonderwheel Recordings.

AfroJazz is a Brazilian Contemporary Jazz Group. Started in 2012, AfroJazz came out of a desire to reframe the contemporary lineage of African Heritage music.

African music and heritage has had an astounding impact on the development of most of music developed in the 20th century.  Jazz and samba, to rock n’ roll, reggae and hip-hop are all styles of music that benefited from African roots. AfroJazz melds the feel of all of these styles into a completely new sound. Even though it's difficult to define exactly what AfroJazz sounds like, the mixture of traditional ethnic percussion with classic jazz horns places it somewhere between Africa, Brazil, and the US.

AfroJazz's original arrangements and compositions are strongly influenced by the masters Moacir Santos, Mulatu Astatke, Mongo Santa Maria, Guy Warren and Fela Kuti. Therefore every performance is magnetic and full of energy. They are filled with a unique combination of free improvisation, DJ scratches, electric guitar riffs and audience interaction.

AfroJazz has played all over Rio de Janeiro and was almost immediately recognized and appreciated by the local youth, and quickly became a beacon of  Rio de Janeiro's changing jazz scene. The group shows remarkable power to bring the people to its shows and is revealing a new kind of audience: people who party, dance and enjoy themselves while listening to refined new age instrumental music.

The year of 2014 has provided AfroJazz with some great opportunities. While still in Rio, they played for a 20,000 person audience in Brazil's coolest open-air jazz festival, the Rio das Ostras Jazz & Blues Festival. Marcus Miller, Al Jarreau and Scott Henderson also participated in the festival. In October, AfroJazz took a trip to China to play at the Cotai Jazz & Blues Festival in Macau. While there, AfroJazz won the special recognition award. At the present moment a CD with new songs is being recorded.

Stay tuned!

Destaque da cena carioca, a banda Afrojazz formou-se no Rio de Janeiro em 2012 e, desde então, vem realizando shows e participando de festivais nacionais e internacionais. A banda ficou conhecida pela realização das noites “Quarta Jazz” na Estudantina (RJ) e hoje se apresenta em diversas casas de show. Com seus seis integrantes foi destaque no Rio das 
  Ostras Jazz & Blues Festival 2014 e vencedor do concurso VOZPARATODOS do circuito Banco do Brasil. Ainda esse ano foram os primeiros representantes brasileiros no China's Cotai Jazz and Blues Festival, de onde retornaram com o prêmio Special Recognition Award.
    Influenciados por artistas como Mulatu Astatke, Guy Warren, Black Rio,Moacir Santos, Fela Kuti, Bob Marley, Avishai Cohen, Miles Davis entre outros, a música do Afrojazz mistura ritmos afro-brasileiros e evidencia a ancestralidade musical da nossa cultura, mas sem perder o contato com a contemporaneidade do hip hop ou do rock. Suas composições transitam entre ritmos dançantes, vigorosos e originais. A banda conta com percussão, guitarra, contrabaixo, bateria, trompete e saxofone e seu trabalho pode ser conferido em seu álbum de estreia, com participação especial do Dj Negralha, já lançado esse ano. Atualmente a banda está em estúdio gravando o próximo disco só com autorais.
