Mamaletta (aka Mariletta Konstantara) is an MC-singer-songwriter from Athens, Greece. She spent a decade in the U.S. where she studied composition and arrangement, and worked as a performer playing her Hip-Hop, Reggae, Jazz, Soul and World music, live, and recording with bands from 2006 till 2015.

She now presents you with her Debut Album “A Better Place” with full production by Kill Emil, a DJ and producer also based in Athens, Greece -by way of Brazil- who since 2009, has created a very interesting and diverse discography of powerful beats and endless chill vibes.

The Album “A Better Place” is composed of 10 tracks, songs talking about Gratitude, Acknowledgement, Justice, Love, Hope, Solutions, and New Beginnings! Hip-Hop meets Reggae, Dub, Dancehall and Drum n’ Bass, so it’s both relaxing and explosive at the same time!
Highlights on this new release include the ‘trippy’ yet grounded “Problems”, the powerful “Dear Law”, the mantra of empowerment “Acknowledge the Power”, and of course, “A Better Place” itself carries a calm yet unbreakable force!

With Kill Emil’s magic music production, and Mamaletta’s unique voice we are all guaranteed to go to a place out far...and then back to ours, to keep trying as much as we can to make it A Better Place.

Born in the dark streets of Cairo, grown to the unforgettable forests of Santa Esmeralda, spending its teen years in Bombay and Tangier markets, mature into the deep spacey Jungle of Ghana we proudly present you a new label from the land of the pyramids: SHANGO RECORDS invites you to an unheard world music psychedelic trip: like through a colorful kaleidoscope we will melt down Indian and Pakistani Vibes, Arab-Tek and Oriental groovy vibes, Afro-Beat rhythms n' pieces, Cumbia Tropicana flavors and cosmic Ghetto-Latin vibes into forbidden sounds of frenzied electronic dancefloor rituals. Outside traditional paths these driving grooves and polyphonic structures take the adventure seeking dancer to Dionysian highs and places never been before.

Then Báli ceased: his eyeballs rolled in stress of anguish uncontrolled His massive teeth were bared to view, And from the frame the spirit flew. Their lord and leader dead, the crowd Of noblest Vánars shrieked aloud: “Since thou, O King, hast sought the skies All desolate Kishkindhá lies. Her woods, where Vánars loved to rove, Are empty now, and hill and grove. From every eye the light is fled, Since thou, our mighty lord, art dead. Thine was the unwearied arm that bore the brunt of deadly fight of yore With Golabh the Gandharva, when, Lasting through five long years and ten.  The dreadful conflict knew no stay In gloom of night, in glare of day; And when the fifteenth year had past Thy dire opponent fell at last. If such a foeman fell beneath Our hero's arm and awful teeth Who freed us from our terror, how Is conquering Báli fallen now?” Then when they saw their leader slain Great anguish seized the Vánar train, weeping their mighty chief, as when In pastures near a lion's den The cows by sudden fear are stirred, Slain the bold bull who led the herd. Jack Essek is bringing you the light of Zar. This is his fifth offering for Shango Records. These four tracks can heal your body and enlight your senses.

Lest We Forget What We Came Here To Do released on Naim Records on the 25th September 2015.

Order Now: https://sonsofkemet.bandcamp.com/

In Memory Of Samir Awad was written to commemorate a Palestinian teen killed by Israeli forces as he fled their gunfire in 2013. 

After the blistering success of their debut album 'Burn' in 2013, Sons of Kemet return with their highly anticipated follow up 'Lest We Forget What We Came Here To Do.' 'Burn' is a hard act to follow - not only did it garner the band fans such as Gilles Peterson (who included the album in his Worldwide Awards shortlist) and stunning reviews, including The Arts Desk (who pronounced it Album Of The Year) and The Quietus, but they also scooped the MOBO Best Jazz Award. The bar has indeed been set high for the second album, but yet again Sons of Kemet have surpassed themselves, delivering an album stuffed to the rafters with the euphoric, danceable grooves and riffs that made 'Burn' such an unprecedented success and audiences go crazy.
