Three years after his Darker Than Wax debut Futuro Tumbao (supported by the likes of Gilles Peterson, Lefto, and Bandcamp Weekly), Kansado returns with a sequel that goes further to introduce fresh new takes on Latin soul. If Futuro Tumbao represented testing the waters of future afro-Cuban music, Futuro Tumbao II is a full-on submersion and exploration into this fusion. Based in uptown New York City, Dominican-American producer Kansado is rooted in the hub of a flourishing afro-latin independent music scene. Kansado fuses the rhythms of the Caribbean and Latin soul with the left field sensibilities of hip hop, neo soul, and lofi to create a musical language all his own.

‘Futuro’ is Spanish for future and ‘Tumbao’ carries two meanings: One, the base rhythm found in afro-Cuban music, and two, swagger. Standout tracks ‘Limber de Coco’ and ‘Suave Como Va’ quote the smooth progressions of latin soul greats Poncho Sanchez and Tito Puente, all the while blurring the lines between the new and traditional - Latin soul meets future funk. ‘El Neo Songo’ and ‘Astral Yambú’ offer a meditative space where the folkloric forms of songo and rumba blend seamlessly into neo soul and jazz. ‘Lala Guayaba’ takes you to the heart of the Dominican Republic and lays wavy synths and guitars over a thumping side chained tambora - introducing a future beat sensibility to merengue.

Futuro Tumbao II is both a love letter to the future of afro-latin music, as well as a strong statement about Kansado’s growth as an artist. With a meticulous approach to songwriting and production, and a reverence for the artists and genres that have inspired him, Kansado has carved out a musical lane all his own.

Isatta Sheriff and Koralle join forces on ‘Eat The Kiwi Skin’ - a six track EP that unites the talents of the East London MC and the Bologna-based beat smith. The duo's first collabo ‘Laid Back’ was released in 2021 and gained 2.5 million streams to date. Even though the music is made in Italy ‘Eat The Kiwi Skin’ is a London sumting.

“It's a laid back journey into my world in East London,” Isatta explains. “I paint a picture of my journey so far as a Black female rapper, and the racial politics and experiences surrounding that. It follows Laid Back’s relaxed approach to the stage where I am at making music on my own terms and speaking freely.”

On the EP, Isatta is joined by fellow vocalists Lex Amor, Shumba Youth, Awate and Mercy's Cartel who are also not afraid to eat the kiwi skin. “The skin is the most nutritious part of the fruit and you have to digest the roughness (harshness) to get the most nourishment,” the outspoken Eastender explains.

“When you do things differently, some people get it, and some don’t. Some join in and some just comment from the sidelines. Might not be the easiest (or tastiest) thing to hear but it's necessary. This could be interpreted in a music and life sense.”

Isatta's track record includes collabos with Flying Lotus, Oddisee, Arrested Development and Athletic Progression. She is hosting a radio show, runs her own label Doctored Sound and works as a music writer.
Koralle is one of the most in demand European beatmakers with a sound rooted in jazz and boom-bap. Since signing with MPM in 2019, he has released three albums and accumulated more than 30 million streams.
 
‘Eat The Kiwi Skin’ will be available digital and on LP (including instrumental edits of all tracks for the beat lovers out there). The album artwork is designed by acclaimed Colombian illustrator SagaUno who also did the covers for The Silhouettes Project and Koralle's ‘Beat Kiosk’.
