Bani - Kavkasiuri Balada

It is a dream for us to start this year presenting our most dear creator Andara and this precious gem! 
After a year that is beyond description, in which Andara amazed us everyday, we are overwhelmed to start 2022 with an amazing edit of an iconic Portuguese song from the most beloved and genius music creator ever in Portugal, José Afonso.
This amazing song and lyrics are precious pieces of culture and this edit... Well, by now we all know that Andara is magic, but this creation is for us a masterpiece in all possible ways, and an amazing and awaited addition to our beautiful Downtempo Culture! 

Thank you again and again dear Andara, Octo Records will always be your home, and we, your greatest fans!

Regarding the edit of José Afonso's song "vejam bem" (meaning "take a good look") and it's release on this date, 25th of April, it represents a most significant event. Portugal has been under dictatorship for more than 40 years, up until 1974. During that period, José Afonso's music became forbidden due to it's revolutionary and inspiring nature. This artist was so gifted and had such influence, through his being, art and thinking, that was considered a constant threat to the state. One of the most iconic stories in Portuguese culture, comes from the fact that the Revolution was triggered trough one of his songs, "Grândola Vila Morena", played trough the radio! 
After taking over the radio stations, the revolutionaries played this song to make it possible for others to know what it had began. It was the end of big period of violence, social and cultural degradation and censorship in Portugal, and without any casualties or shots fired. The people's revolution, made with art and peace. Since then, the Portuguese have done an epic effort to become a strong and beautiful country, with Freedom and Love to offer to those who visit us.

The World needs Revolution. Otherwise, there won't be a planet for future generations. It is our time now. With our Music and Love.

We are delighed to present you a most precious gem. Nicolas Jaar, the Fado singer Carminho, edited by the unique Andara. This could only be epic!

There are no doubts that Nicolas Jaar is a legend, that Andara is gold, but regarding Carminho, whom most of you probably do not know, she is one of the most amazing Fado singers alive, and my very favorite female singer for many years . It's hard to put in words the magic of her voice, the soul and perfection of her singing, and most of all, the heritage of Portugal and Humanity that Fado music represents. We are delighted for having such piece of art and sharing it with the Downtempo Community.

Thank you beloved Andara, you never stop bringing light, art and Love to our lives on a daily basis and we could not imagine life or Octo without you!

Octo Records is preparing many surprises for the rest of this year! And for the next one... Well, that is gonna be wild!

We are so happy and proud to offer another precious piece of our Portuguese culture, edited in Downtempo by our dear Nyvs.

António Variações was a Portuguese singer and songwriter who rose to prominence in the 80s with his unique, eclectic and absolutely amazing musical style!
Known for his flamboyant stage presence, wearing bold and colorful outfits with his distinctive hairstyles, Variações's music was a fusion genres, from rock, pop, folk, and his magic and influence continues to these days, making him one of the most beloved figures in Portugal's cultural history!
Fun fact is that before he became a musician, he was a famous barber in Lisbon!

Enjoy this epic work by our Resident Artist and Mastering Engineer Nyvs, a beautiful and unique addition to our Downtempo Culture, crafted with exquisite quality.

“Nothing’s Older Than Yesterday” is three years of searching for the exciting, the unseen and unheard. Living in London, Hamburg and Melbourne since the release of our debut we stole a little here and there from every city. East London’s boldness, Melbourne’s DIY-attitude and the fascinating weirdness of Tokyo all distilled into the trademark sound that - for the first time, we were able to articulate on “Nothing’s Older Than Yesterday”.
