Luis Carlos Vinhas or L.C.V is one of our favourite artists here at Bongo HQ. His ‘O Som Psicodelico’ LP is an all-time classic.

Side A here features a killer latin-Brazilian dance floor fusion, heavy on the horns and piano. Sounds like a Tito Puente workout, with Brazilian backing vocals floated over the top.

The AA side features the album version, a much deeper cut with lush textures, breaks, horns and animal noises! Taken from the ‘O Som Psicodelico’ LP, which we highly recommend you track down.

ULTRA RARE NICARAGUA AFRO SYNTH FUNK MOOG SALSA LP

Bosq’s aptly titled third full-length effort “Love & Resistance” is a collection of songs that reflect a producer’s continuing emergence by diving deeper into his influences. The strains of Afro and Latin flavours are interwoven and still heavily permeate but the underlying groove and rhythms have taken on a more modern, jazz-funk and disco-soul vibe with nods to Bobby Caldwell, Roy Ayers, the Mizell brothers and Nile Rodgers’Chic.
Already featuring “Can’t Seem To Hide” with Megan Doherty that made a splash as the first single from the album garnering a 10/10 rating from Mixmag, the whole album is soldered together with each track being a single-worthy release in it’s own right. Featuring guest vocalists on all but one of the tunes including frequent collaborators Kaleta, and Nicole Willis, along with Ray Lugo who’s known for his work in Kokolo and Boogaloo Destroyers. LA based singer Induce and new duo Lucid Paradise with E da Boss & Ishtar round out the cast of Bosq’s most vocally varied album work to date, reflecting both his growth as an artist and his willingness to push his own sonic boundaries.
A relentless work ethic fused with a broad and varied music palette all attuned to the groove and a focus on making folks move has led to numerous remix projects, most recently with legendary Benin-based Orchestre Poly-Rythmo De Cotonou. With a steadily growing fan base and reputation amongst fellow artists and musicians, Bosq’s immediate future is already laden with releases lined up for Fania and his collaborative effort Body Music alongside The Rapture’s Vito Roccoforte.

Gozar & Captain Planet (@djgozarla & @dj-captain-planet) reinterpret a forgotten tune to fit in on a modern dance floor. It's perfect for welcoming in the summer sun. 

In Captain Planet's own words - "Gozar and I have both connected over our shared deep love and appreciation for obscure vintage music from Africa and the diaspora since we first met at a warehouse party in 2011.. I think? He had just come back from Colombia with a stack of dusty Cumbia and folkloric LP's, and I was a recent transplant from Brooklyn who didn't know any locals yet. We clicked, I started coming to more parties that he and the Subsuelo crew were throwing, then I became an official member of the crew sometime around 2015. For those who don't know, Subsuelo is a tight collective of deejays, musicians, and one feisty photographer, who have been throwing global club nights in LA since 2010, often incorporating our trademark live flamenco meets hip hop element as well as providing a venue for guest artists and deejays from around the world. Josh (Gozar) & I (along with Canyon) opened the Subsuelo headquarters together that summer in an old rundown dentist office in Filipinotown that we converted into shared office/work space and a recording studio which became our base for daily operations. The space is constantly buzzing with group meetings, late night soiree's, and lots of vinyl records in rotation (like the one which gave us inspiration for this track together), with an occasional soundbath or yoga class taking place there as well. This song will not be available on Spotify, iTunes or other DSP, because quite frankly, we have sampled an old record and don't want to monetarily profit off the music. But we are happy to give away the tune for free download off of Soundcloud and share our updated dance floor take on this classic West African guitar band sound."

Gozar adds "I originally found this track on a trip to Barranquilla, Colombia back in 2011. I got some burnt MP3's full of tracks that DJ's play on the "Pico" sound systems - Salsa, Cumbia, Champeta, Dancehall and tons of African tunes. I actually took some photos and wrote an article for a Mediellin magazine my friend ran that you can check here, here and here. This one always stood out to me and was one of my staple tracks when Subsuelo first started. I'm excited to have a chance to collabo with Charlie and get a remix out there!"

Making his BBE debut in 2017 with compilation album ‘The Languages Of Tambores’, described by The Vinyl Factory as “ancestral, evocative and visceral”, Italian multi- instrumentalist Gabriele Poso returns to the label with his new LP ‘Awakening’. Since his debut album ‘From The Genuine World’, released in 2008 on Osunlade’s Yoruba Records, Gabriele has amassed an impressive catalogue of solo work and guest appearances, not to mention a hectic schedule of live performances. Perhaps Gabriele’s most rounded work to date; ‘Awakening’ captures an artist in full bloom, examining a crossroads between creative and personal paths.

Far Out Recordings proudly presents the 1975 self-titled debut album from Brazilian vocalist and bossa nova luminary Emilio Santiago. Nicknamed ‘the Nat King Cole of Brazil’, Santiago was a master bossa balladeer and a top-class crooner. But he is known equally for his Brazilian funk, soul and boogie classics. One of his best know is album opener ‘Bananeira’, a party-starting version of the song originally written by Joao Donato and Gilberto Gil. ‘Brother’ is a smooth-grooving killer with great horn arrangements and a huge backing choir, while ‘La Mulata’ is a soulful, swinging salsa stepper.

Originally released on the CID label, the album showcases the full range of Emilio’s talents, while paying homage to some of Brazil’s greatest composers, including Jorge Ben, Marcos and Sergio Valle and Ivan Lins among others. 

The credits on the album are a ‘who’s who’ of Brazil’s greats, with João Donato on keys, Wilson das Neves, Ivan ‘Mamão’ Conti and Paulinho on drums, Durval Ferreira, Carlos Roberto Rocha and Helio Delmiro on guitar, Ariovaldo, Orlandivo, and Chacal on percussion, Danilo Caymmi on flute, a brass section featuring Victor Assis Brasil, Edson Maciel and Jesse Sadoc, and backing vocals from Jaime and Nair, Lúcia Lins, Jurema and Marcio Lott.

Depuis une dizaine d’années, le réunionnais Loya explore l’intimité musicale des îles sœurs de l’Océan Indien, contribuant à dissiper de manière singulière les frontières entre musique électronique et musiques traditionnelles à l’heure de la globalisation.
 
Marchant dans les pas de Ti Fock et d’autres pionniers du maloya électrique, Loya explore l’espace bleu de l’Océan Indien avec le naturel de l’insulaire, apprivoisant ses machines pour les adapter à la frénésie ternaire des rythmes traditionnels des Mascareignes et convoquer des états de transe. 
 
Après l’éclatant « Ti Lélé », soutenu par Nova, FIP ou encore XLR8R, Loya révèle « Zenfant », un nouveau titre extrait de l’album « Corail », à paraître le 28 septembre prochain sur Mawimbi Records. 
 
Souvenir enjoué d’un voyage vers les hautes terres de Madagascar, « Zenfant » joue sur une tonalité résolument plus dansante. Basé sur un field recording d’enfants chantant au rythme d’un arc musical dans les rizières d’Antsirabé, le morceau est propulsé par un beatmaking puissant et de grands accords solaires, typiques d’une « bass music » à l’anglaise,

Preview of Woza, the second single from Onipa -  'Open My Eyes'.

Single out 24 August, full EP 7 September on Wormfood + Mawimbi.

Download: https://onipa.bandcamp.com/

ONIPA means ‘human’ in Akan, the ancient language of the Ashanti people of Ghana. It’s a message of connection through collaboration: from Ghana to London, our ancestors to our children, Onipa brings energy, groove, electronics, afrofuturism, dance and fire!

Born out of deep collaboration between long time friends KOG (Kweku of Ghana of KOG and the Zongo Brigade) and Tom Excell (MD, guitarist and writer of acclaimed jazz/ soul afrobeat pioneers Nubiyan Twist), the 4 piece live show features KOG on vocals, balafon and percussion, Tom Excell on guitar, percussion and electronics, Dwayne Kilvington (Wonky Logic) on synths and MPC and Finn Booth (Nubiyan Twist) on drums.

It’s a fresh, raw, fiercely energetic new sound, fusing electronics and deep afro grooves. Think Konono no.1 meets Shangaan Electro, Songhoy Blues and Débruit….
