Since its inception in 2013, Mawimbi founders have been expanding their knowledge of lesser known and rather undiscovered musical territories thanks to chance encounters with likeminded DJs/producers, who were kind enough to put them onto a good amount of under-the-radar tropical gems. 

Launched in 2017 and named after Mawimbi's bi-monthly radio show on Rinse France, the "Radio Mawimbi" compilation series is dedicated to unearthing vintage tropical gems in the form of free download edits and remixes by some of the most seasoned diggers and promising rookies of the tropical-enthusiast community! 

From deep, drum-heavy workouts to essential Guinea Bissau melancholy, through remixed Beninese afrofunk and vintage South African kwaito, this second installment features the editing and remixing work of Yeahman (Frente Bolivarista), LSD (Love Saves The Day), Déni Shain (Antagana Records), Umoja, Mawimbi, ATW (Around The World), Calisto, Turbo Boom-Boom (TBB) and Midnight Ravers.

A few years later of “Vamos A Comer” EP (2010 © Lovemonk) and the “Unexpected Tapas” (2011 © Lovemonk) album releases, the Basque-German DJ & music maker, Mikel Makala, and the producer and director of the Gasteiz Big Band, Jimmy Bidaurreta, join forces again to create a new album called “Descarga Libre” (2019 © Orrua Diskak). Now the Basque duo strikes with the same purpose to rescue those Latin, Jazz, Funk and Descarga to Nuyorican Salsa sounds of labels like Fania, in combination with club & dancefloor rhythms. In the beginning of 2019 they’re back with a new album containing 7 originals songs, giving continuity to that brilliant sound they have signed together & have already obtained remarkable admiration from some international reputed DJs, producers and radio hosts, such as Craig Charles (BBC-6 Music, UK), Raphael Sebbag (United Future Organization, Japan), Mad Mats (Raw Fusion, Sweeden), Paul Murphy (Afro Art, UK), Diego Manrique “Ambigú” (Radio 3, Spain), ... to name a few. The album contains different collaborations such as London based half German/Chilean female singer Fedzilla (vocalist on Wara), Cuban singer & bass player Omar González Mesa (Daniel Amat Quartet), Cuban trombonist Yarian Yaque (Mayito Rivera & Orquesta Los Hijos de Cuba) and Cuban percussionist Denis Barzaga (Soneros de Changüí) and Iñigo Ortiz de Zárate, guitar & keyboard of Basque rhythm&blues & soul group, The Allnighters. 


El DJ y agitador musical vasco-germano Mikel Makala y el músico y productor de Donostia-San Sebastián, Jimmy Bidaurreta director de la Gasteiz Big Band, son unos de esos artistas que llevan mucho tiempo creando sus propios universos sonoros. En su nuevo proyecto conjunto en forma de álbum, “Descarga Libre” ponen de manifiesto que con un amplio abanico de ingredientes: Latin, Jazz, Soul, Funk, Descarga, Salsa Nuyorican o elementos Afro-Cubanos, se puede cocinar un buen plato. En estos experimentos creativos y vitalistas, estos alquimistas enamorados de los ritmos latinos, hacen música de ayer con la visión de hoy o música de hoy con la visión de ayer y con la que recorren territorios donde se funden estilos, timbres, sabores y climax. El resultado es estimulante y donde su sección rítmica hace que movamos los pies y todo el cuerpo. Pero no haríamos justicia si no habláramos de los músicos que les acompañan en esta aventura sonora, como los cubanos Omar González Mesa (Pancho Amat Cuarteto), cantante, bajista y guitarrista residente en Donostia; Yarian Yaque Gutiérrez (Mayito Rivera & Orquesta Hijos de Cuba), en el trombón y Denis Barzaga percusionista originario de Guantánamo. También participan Iñigo Ortiz de Zárate, guitarrista y teclista vasco del grupo The Allnighters y Fedzilla la vocalista chilena germana del grupo londinense WARA. Mención aparte hay que hablar de la gran portada del álbum confeccionada por Txarly Brown.

At the start of 2020 a fellow DJ/vinyl collector, Tom B, invited me to come and spin at the March edition of legendary Avenida Brasil, one of the longest running BR-themed parties in Paris. He also challenged me to perform a live set on my MPC, specifically made for that night. Unfortunately a few weeks later everything was cancelled. But I kept on making beats, while sampling my Brazilian records. Weeks later this
album was born… It is the most personal album yet, it is an homage to my family’s Brazilian heritage and a dedication to my mother.

When I was still a small child, some of my very first music memories were the many faces of MPB artists “smiling” at me from the covers of my mother’s vinyl collection. I was born in Zagreb to a Portuguese mother (who was raised in Rio de Janeiro) and a Croatian father and grew up listening to Chico Buarque, Elis Regina, Caetano Veloso, Milton Nascimento but also to other, less worldly known but very important artists whose brilliant music my mother collected in the early 70s. This collection of 10” records called “História da Música Popular Brasileira - MPB” was at the time released by Edições Abril and was distributed and sold at many newspaper stands all over Brazil. My mom, being a true music lover, bought the whole collection. Not long after, when her family was moving back from Brazil to Portugal, all the records travelled by ship with her. The same year after marrying my dad, she moved to Zagreb taking again the collection with her. Another journey the records made
was when our family moved to Lisbon in 1992, with a one year stop in Rome.

Now, I am very happy to have the collection with me here in Amsterdam. They are part of my family's multi- cultural heritage and a living proof that great music can stand the test of time.
