'Power Bossa' is the introduction to Fab Samperi's definition of a boombastic jazz style. Fearlessly and creatively picking up inspiration from the golden decades of classic rhythm & blues, latin, hip-hop and soul Sicily's most prolific producer releases his first full album.
Growing up in Catania during the late Seventies and Eighties Fab Samperi was born into a household full of funky grooves. While his father was a serious collector of jazz records, Fab got to know his brother's soul collection inside out when he was treated to all night vinyl sessions. Over the years Fab started to travel the world, living in Japan as well as Australia and learned his trade by playing a genre-bending mix of funk versus afro meets hip-hop on stage with the Outbound collective.

DJ FARRAPO & YANEZ
The singer/composer Yanez Servadei and Giorgio Cencetti (DJ Farrapo) met up in 1997. They immediately started a solid friendship and a musical collaboration which led them to create the “Dj Farrapo & Yanez” project in 2005. In April 2006 they recorded and produced the song "Baiano Vem", released as a single from AfroArt Records remixed by Paul Murphy in London. Two years later, in 2008, second single was released by the Italian label Tam Tam Studio. It contained two outstanding electro-brazilian cuts, one of them “Frango Assado”, specially composed by Yanez for the short film "Domingo, frango assado" directed by Federico Mutti, whose videoclip was on high  rotation on the Sky Channel of National Geographic (NatGeoMusic). Their work goes on as they publish, in 2011, another two singles, Mojito com Cachaça/Avisado Remix (Agogo Records) and Samborigeno/Oliveto with (Urban Records). Along the years they participated to many Radio and Tv shows and starred in several world-known compilations, like Hotel Costes 11, Brazilectro 10, Sambass 2, Weekend Nu Jazz 2, Wicked Jazz Sound 2, Beginner's Guide to Brazilian Lounge, Filati Pregiati Vol.2, Cinedelic Sound and Sweet Mood V.1 among others. And now what? Well... after a long work, Dj Farrapo & Yanez  are now ready with their debut LP , “Alien Na Favela”.
