After releasing their debut LP “Voyage” in 2022 on Jakarta Records, Tapioca, the Brussels-Kigali-based, Brazil-inspired duo made of rapper/lyricist Le Tagarel and producer/composer SiKa, return with LP “Samba em Kigali” due out May 19, 2023. 

Pre-order here: https://tapioca.lnk.to/Lagoas

Building upon the sounds and influence from “Voyage,” “Samba em Kigali” is a definitive step up and clear sonic growth for the twosome, whose debut, Resident Advisor wrote, is "if Anderson Paak. & Marco Valle made a Brazilian pop-funk record.” 

From the stunningly fleshed out lyricism to the Dillaesque sound infused w/ inspiration from rap, jazz, MPB and funk of the 70/80’s - the LP sways like a ship on the smoothest of seas, a pure ray of aural sunshine to welcome the warm weather.

Kicking off is the impeccably smooth 1st single “Lagoas de Ruanda.” Instantly catchy, the crisp guitar, funky bass and buoyant underlying percussion are the perfect vitamin of joy that gives rise to Le Tagarel’s buttery vox - a perfect encapsulation of the sounds and moods of the LP.

We have been fans of Benny Sings since his first album 10+ years ago so it was an honor to release his current album "Art" together with the homies from Dox and it's an honor as well to have him featured on your latest sampler.

As always "Spring In Jakarta" will be a free DLL with free cassette tape copies available from selected retailer. Also be on the lookout for the limited t-shirt + tape combo we did together with the homies from inflammable.com.

Fall in Love (J Dilla) - Eno Trio

Do You Really

Holy Hive, the group that coined the genre Folk/Soul, comes out swinging with this monster Single. “Oh I Miss Her So” is pulled from their upcoming release Harping EP: a drop dead gorgeous tune of love and longing featuring the harping of Mary Lattimore. The tune serves as a testament to The Hive’s gift for songwriting and arrangement, taking the listener on a ride from the first notes of Paul’s falsetto to the outro featuring Dave Guy’s (The Roots) gorgeous trumpet solo.

Lyrics

OK OK OK let me breathe a little now
I just parked my demons on the other side of town
If I pay the meter I’ll get in my feelings
I should take the ticket and start praying kumbaya

Every time I get a little closer
To getting up and brushing off my shoulders
They creep up and get a little closer
Oh my lord, it’s getting harder every day

Well I’ve spent all morning on the ropes (Ali)
I think I might have made it worse 
I’ve lost control 

(I was filling my glass
Then choked up with the grass
Took too much that I passed out)

I was first in my class
now i’m pushing for last
couldn’t stomach the past 
I can’t get it right 

Every time I get a little closer
To getting up and brushing off my shoulders
They creep up and get a little closer
oh my lord, it’s getting harder every day

Well maybe I should go to war with my ID
When solo maybe i should start a fire in myself 

Every time I get a little closer
To getting up and brushing off my shoulders
They creep up and get a little closer
oh my lord, it’s getting harder every day

Kumbaya - w/Shibo
