Sparrow & Barbossa have their highly anticipated album ready to sail the world's oceans, 'Seven Seas' is finally here. One year locked down in the studio has opened their minds to travel to different cultures allowing them to create a unique and colourful debut album.
 
'Quando Te Veo' is the album's first single, a complete reinterpretation of the emblematic song from the all-timers Acid & Nu Jazz gurus, the German Duo, MoHorizons.  The second single is 'E Fura,' a collaboration with one of the most popular Nigerian Afrobeat ambassadors, Dele Sosimi. 'Nyakua' is the contribution of Sparrow & Barbossa's mentor. The Iberican Sound mastermind, Stereo Productions founder, and Redolent head honcho, DJ Chus.  A vocal song by Kenyan favorite singer Idd Aziz. 'Azucar' brings the Latin Flavour to this album with a tribute to Latin Grammy winners and most popular Cuban-Band, Los VanVan. 
Afrikan Rising Star, Berlin-based, Floyd Lavine, is the partner on this studio collaboration titled 'When I'm With You' performed by legendary New York Soulful singer Josh Milan.
The Pirates trimmed sails to Morocco to meet Cee ElAssaad to produce 'Libre,' a freedom ode with the finest female and Spanish vocal.
TOSZ, the multidisciplinary artist, Polish singer, and songwriter, Frankfurt-based,  is the man behind 'Saudades Do Mar.' A Brasilian carnival festivity in the form of a love song. 
'Morena' is the gypsy rumba-fiesta track in this voyage featuring the Spanish singer Vinila Von Bismark. 
The duo passed on a Caribean heading and joined forces with El Chino Dreadlion and VitiYono on 'We Are Not Alone,' a charming Cuban chants track.
'Dream' & 'Back Home' are their private crossovers in the album. 
'Transat L'Antique' is the album's closing track, where Bryan Coletta (Sparrow) involves his father, the world-famous guitar player Francis Coletta. The icing on the cake of 'Seven Seas.'
 
Seven Seas' is a milestone that will set a new course in Sparrow & Barbossa's career. They aim to transmit ancient cultures' roots and democratize World Music through Electronica. 'Seven Seas' is the perfect example, music coming from all cardinal points. The treasures and richness of 'Seven Seas' can't be categorized into one specific genre. 
It has a House Music core and is all about Organic, Latin, and Afro Electronic Dance Music. Now is the time to travel the world spreading the musical message of this 'Infamous-Afro-Latin-House-Pirates Duo.’

Only someone with Jerome Sydenham's unique background could have founded a record label as innovative as Ibadan Recordings. He was born and raised in Ibadan, Nigeria to an English father and Jamaican mother and schooled in his teens in England before emigrating to New York City in the early 80's. Sydenham's work today is largely influenced by the cultural diversity of his upbringing and has echoes of a musical history that spans indigenous African and contemporary western music.

One of the many artists who benefited from Sydenham's artistic direction was New Jersey based Kerri Chandler. In 1991, Sydenham was part of the A&R team that signed Chandler's debut single "SuperLover/Get it Off", to Atlantic Records and the rest is house music history. Chandler is now acknowledged as one of the original creators of the deep house sound and his bass lines are legendary.

Sydenham and Chandler's ambitions fused creatively with the inception of the Ibadan imprint six years ago. Saturday represents the culmination of their shared experience as music makers, party animals and fathers. Sydenham takes artistic control of the repertoire with an album that reflects the breadth of his musical interests. Chandler acts as a flawless technician, refining and making sense of a wide range of ideas. The record, a well rounded full length, has something for everyone. It combines simple, deep, electronic tracks (Rising the Sun and Winter’s Blessing) with elegant acoustic arrangements (Aro and Deconstructed House). Congolese vocalist Alain Nkosi Konda joins Cameroonian guitarist Dominique Kanza on the mammoth "Ko Ko" produced by Sydenham and Dennis Ferrer of Sfere Records. Sydenham and Ferrer follow up with multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Jania on "Deconstructed House", a funky, Brazillian hybrid of influences. Saturday also benefits from a significant input by local New York jazz luminaries. Guests include bassist Tarus Mateen and keyboard player Brian Mitchell.

And finally we find Adam Port on B2, pursuing his knack for lost African treasures. Once again he finds the source material in an old traditional by Quim Manuel O Espirito Santo. Port's edit of "Eme Lelu" seeks to update the original in some of the rhythmic patterns and create a whole new dramaturgic, floor tweaked build up, yet he leaves the original's cheer- and playful nature untouched. Cheers to Analog Africa for providing the original composition.
