“Na Procura” is the new EP from Guatemala-based producer/multi instrumentalist Yemanjo. True to the spirit of its title (Portuguese for “in the search”), Na Procura reflects Yemanjoʼs bold, constantly evolving sound inspired by his world travels and deep love for traditional musical idioms.
Ethnic instruments and vocals blend with flying synths and kicks; Guinean style guitar and tribal percussion bring organic warmth to driving mid-tempo house beats. From the mysterious, searching depths of its title track to the unmitigated joy of “Fonye”, Na Procura takes the listener on a kaleidoscopic journey of discovery.

“Na Procura” receives remixes from Mose and Zuma Dionys. Both make beautiful use of the source material while taking the track in their own bold, hypnotic directions. “Fonye” is remixed by California-based producer Scott Nice. His energetic, dance-floor ready treatment of the tune stays true to the original while bringing it to incendiary new heights.

Archaeological evidence from prehistoric times suggests that the Earth was once viewed as a living, female being. Ancient texts and mythologies support the idea of a female deity associated with the earth and all life. The Phyrigian Earth Mother Kybele was one such figure among many and represented the earth, mountains, caverns, and all nature, the birth of humanity, the universe and everything in it. 

Inspired by this timeless and universal vision, this project is dedicated to featuring and celebrating the bounty and beauty of the creative works of women in music through special podcasts, original releases, and mixtapes curated by women producers, DJs, and musicians of a wide range of genres from around the world. 

In addition to highlighting the works of women in music, Kybele develops opportunities for broader inclusion of and greater collaboration among emerging and established artists  of all backgrounds through the "Friends of Kybele" series.
