Keeping the sunshine feelings going is the beautiful 2nd single “Sabor Swahili” from upcoming LP “Samba em Kigali” via Brussels-Kigali-based, Brazil-inspired duo Tapioca. Underwater synth stabs keep your shoulders loose while the almost 4-to-the-floor rhythm via prod. SiKa keeps you groovin’ along, utterly melding w/ Le Tagarel’s vox. Even if you don’t understand Portuguese you’ll be boogieing + singing along w/ the refrain by the end. LP out May 19th via Jakarta Records - Simbora!

In his latest musical offering, Captain Planet collaborates with Colombian singer Jimena Angel to create a scorching slice of classic Afro Latin funk. The song began during a recent tour in South America where Captain Planet was playing some gigs around Santa Marta & Cartagena. A fan of Jimena's previous work, he reached out and connected online, arranging several days of collaboration. "I was staying in a tiny thatched roof hut in the jungle by the side of the Guachaca river, making beats on my laptop with headphones in preparation before meeting up. This beat was one of the first ones I played Jimena and immediately she got the vibe and we started to jam. The song had a triumphant and empowering feel, and then somehow we locked into chanting the name "Pambelé", who is an iconic Afro-latin boxer, born in Palenque, who holds a stature similar to Muhammad Ali for many Colombians." The uplifting Spanish lyrics speak about always moving forward, never looking backward, while fighting adversity. Jimena's powerful vocals soar over a super heavy bass line, accompanied by wah wah guitars and a hammond organ riff, with syncopated punches of horns, congas and cowbells. While the sound is reminiscent of timeless gems from artists like Ray Barretto or WAR, there is also a very contemporary feel and updated thump for today's discerning listeners.

Lyrics: 
Let’s get hot!
The devil ain’t got nothin’ on us
We get love from the sun everyone
Rub a little lotion on it

Tropical vacation catching rays by the shore
Frying like some bacon we can’t take any more
Oh no
I think I might explode

But then we’ll get real cool
Cool, in the water
Jump in and swim
And wash all our sins away
Hey hey
Yeah we’ll get real cool
In the pool
Reach nirvana
Smoke in the air
Then back to the beach chair
Aw yeah

Let’s get hot!
Steamin’ like an ocean liner
It’s a hundred degrees in the shade
Carolina reaper fire

Spicy pink paloma with some salt on the edge
Already flipped over and my back’s getting red
Oh no
I think I might explode

But then we’ll get real cool
Cool, in the water
Jump in and swim
And wash all our sins away
Hey hey
Yeah we’ll get real cool
In the pool
Reach nirvana
Smoke in the air
Then back to the beach chair
Aw yeah

Temperature rising and we’re ‘bout to explode
It’s too hot
We’re burning up and we can’t take it no more
It’s too hot!

We gotta get real cool
Cool, in the water
Jump in and swim
And wash all our sins away
Hey hey
Yeah we’ll get real cool
In the pool
Reach nirvana
Smoke in the air
Then back to the beach chair
Aw yeah

Little brother don't you worry
Things will be fine
There's nothing wrong
In our struggle we feel weary stranded alone
There's nothing wrong

We've come so far
From bread to ashes
Thoses days are over
 Nothing wrong

We can be free
I know from within
It will be real
Nothing wrong

Nothing Wrong
