Musical collisions in the Atlantic!

Musical collisions in the Atlantic!
Sofrito kicks off the new Island Series with a celebration of the vital dancefloor sounds of Cape Verde – a mixture of local Funana and Coladeira rhythms, Batuque percussion and psychedelic disco synths.

Hailing from the island of Sao Vicente and originally released in the early 80s, Dionisio Maio’s anthemic Corpim Sabe is stretched into a 12” mix by the Alma Negra collective – bringing the thumping bassline to the fore and tweaking the piano-led groove into a slice of cosmic Coladeira-disco perfection.

On the flip the dynamic Hide & Smile duo (aka Frankie Francis & Miles Cleret) splice an early track from trailblazing Santiago-based group Bulimundo into a percussive workout that prefigures the sounds of Kuduro and Coupé Decalé.
Os Kings (from the island of Sao Vicente) complete the EP with an ode to struggling youth, anchored by sweet guitars and a slick bassline.

Fact fans:
The Republic of Cape Verde is an island chain situated 500 km off the coast of Senegal. Uninhabited before Portuguese colonization in the 15th century, the country was a staging post for the transatlantic slave trade and occupies a unique cultural position between Africa, Europe and the Caribbean.
There are large Cape Verdean communities in Paris, Lisbon, Rotterdam and Boston and as a result the music of the French Caribbean (in particualr zouk) is extremely influential.
Extra fact:
One of the most popular drinks in Cape Verde is a pint of gin and tonic.

Quim Dos Santos -  N'Genji (Nomad's Vulkandance Edit)

Conjunto Angola 70 is an all star band put together by Samy Ben Redjeb (Analog Africa) and Manu Otiniel (from Mano Mano production - Luanda). The idea is to reproduce the amazing sound of Luanda in the 70s, a sound which has been lost since. 

The band is composed of: Tedy (Lead guitar of Conjunto Inter Palanca), Boto Trindade (Lead guitar of Os Bongos), Jorgio Morgado (Percussionist of Negoleiros do Ritmo), Tulinga (Dikanza player of Conjunto Kissangela), Dulcio Trindad (rythm Guitarist of Aguias Reais), Kalili (bass player of Aguias Reais), Chico Montenegro (vocal and bongos for Jovens do Prenda) and Mulatu (lead vocalist of Aguias Reais).

The song here "Kazakuta" originaly by Os Bongos, has been recorded after a one day reheasal session at Dulcio Trindade´s house. The band will be touring Europe in October 2011, starting on the 26th in Copenhagen. If you are interested in Booking "Conjunto Angola 70" please contact us:

Kazucuta - Conjunto Angola 70

Another volume dedicated to the golden period of contemporary Cape Verdian music of the diaspora, when a young generation of musicians spread across the cities of Rotterdam, Lisbon, Paris and Boston revisited the (until then) neglected rural musical roots of their land and by doing so, set a new standard of how Cape Verdian would sound like for the next generations. 
The focus on this second effort is on the synthesizer, an immensely popular instrument at that time, that they ended up using in an unprecedented way. 
Enjoy and share! 
All tracks selected from original vinyl records.
