Fat Freddy's Drop

Umoja, the quintessential sunshine duo from wet fields of the Netherlands, returns with a deep, dark and dubby rendition. As a follow up to the 70’s west African Funk and Afrobeat influenced Je-Ka-Lo!, Vuelo Nocturno sets out to be a reassuring statement of the duo’s production wizardry. With this record, the duo have managed to synthesis Cumbia and Afrocentric music traditions into a cohesive body of work.

Fat Freddy's Drop - This Room

7" available now from www.sofrito.co.uk

Originally from the island of Boa Vista, Abel Lima was part of a large wave of Cape Verdean migration to Europe in the late 60s – fleeing the political turmoil that accompanied the end of Portuguese colonial rule. Settling in Paris, he recorded several albums with ‘Les Sofas’ a multinational group featuring musicians from France, Senegal, Cameroon, Angola and Guadeloupe.

Arranged by Camerounian star Eko Roosevelt Louis, Corre Riba Corre Baxo (what goes up must come down) is taken from the 1977 album ‘Cantam nos Bida‘ and combines a rock-solid bassline with a hypnotic guitar riff.

Nos Maos – arranged by Guadeloupean pianist Roland Louis – has more of a Caribbean feel, bringing elements of Cadence in to the mix. The politically-charged lyrics – half in French and half in Portuguese – deal with European complicity in economic and social problems in the developing world

Combining the Morna and Coladera styles of Cape Verde with Jazz, Cadence, disco and West African styles, Abel Lima’s output reflected the rich mixture of musical styles and cultures that was (and still is) present in Paris. Both tracks are dancefloor classics.

Liquid Ice - Femm' La (SUPERSAN Remix) available for FREE DOWNLOAD

Liquid Ice was a 5 member Cadence-lypso band from Dominica. "Femm' La" was released in 1976 as part of their "En Eruption" album. With maximum respect to the original gem, we came up with this Afro - Cosmic - Disco remix which is available for free download. 
Originated in the 1970s, the Cadence-lypso genre combined calypso music from the English speaking Caribbean and the cadence rampa (or simply kadans) of Haiti with influences of Dominican traditional music. It spread and became popular in the dance clubs around the Creole world and Africa as well as the French Antilles (Guadeloupe and Martinique). It was pushed in the 1970s by groups from Dominica, and was the first style of Dominican music to find international acclaim. Liquid Ice was one of those kadans bands.
