The Bacalao imprint was started up by Bosq back in 2019 and here we see the Boston born, Medellin based producer collaborating once again with the mighty Kaleta.  As a duo, they are the perfect blend of modern production sensibilities and classic musicianship & soul. Having first worked together in 2013 on Bosq’s first original single Dem Know, they have strung together an impressive run of hits since. From Fatback Band cover Backstrokin’ to Alode to Wake Up, which would eventually be re-interpreted by Purple Disco Machine for a version that took over festival stages and dance clubs worldwide with Kaleta’seuphoric “O ya oooooo” chorus echoing around the world.
Kaleta brings an incredible history to the project, being born in Port Novo, Benin, and raised in Nigeria, he was steeped in the world altering West African musical movements of Voodoo Funk & Afrobeat from their inception. Bosq himself has written and produced five full albums and countless singles and remixes, maintaining a consistent and recognizable fingerprint while fusing influences as varied as Funk & Disco, Salsa & Cumbia, Afrobeat & Jazz, even Hip Hop & Dancehall. In 2023 they finally began work on their first joint full -length album, due out early 2024.
Folamour has to be one of the biggest names in dance music over the past few years, and here he takes on underground stalwart Bosq’s newest release alongside longtime collaborator Kaleta. ‘Meji Meji’ straddles the line between Afro Funk & Disco, with bubbling organ and Rhodes stabs, a massive horn section, layered percussion & vocals, and chants from ex-Egypt 80 member Kaleta.  Folamour’s version pushes the underlying house groove to the forefront, creating a perfect dance floor version with a pulsing kick, deep bass line, and funky synth horn lines that dialogue back and forth with the live horn section. Dance floor tested and approved! Also included is the B-side ‘Sonayon’, a pure afro disco scorcher in which Kaleta sings a message of hope in his native Goun language.
