In 1984, Gianni Ephrikian released “Chiquita”. Now a reputable conductor and composer of film music in Italy, he was surprised when we approached him about this release that we had picked up at a local flea market in Berlin Schöneberg almost 30 years later. Our label tries to situate old music into new contexts and it was clear that “Chiquita” should have a reissue. This resulted in a 2-year spanning collaboration between artists from various ages and musical backgrounds reinterpreting aspects of “Chiquita”while staying true to its root–fun, disco and dance appeal. “Mi Vida” is a groovy balearic house take, DJ Gigola reinterprets the original with vocals from the Barcelona-based band Habla de mí en presente. Rifts presents an italo-inspired floor filler featuring the catalan duo Tata Relena. Gerd Janson provides us with a classic dance edit, and of course the original, remastered versions will be featured on the record as well.

We are fully aware that "Chiquita" is a loaded term, used in both derogative and affectionate ways for addressing women. It is also the name of a multinational brand selling bananas. That is why No Frills has decided that all profits from this release will go to theLatin American Women's Aid Foundation (https://lawadv.org.uk/) who work tirelessly to free women from violence and oppression in Latin American countries. Good things take time and love.

We visited a friend from Benin in the South of Germany who is an avid collector of Nigerian Funk, Ghanaian Yoruba, Jùjú and High-Life.  "Ti koro nko agyina" compiles records from this visit and also a trip to Ghana during which we were lucky enough to meet some of the artists behind the records involved and had interesting and important conversations about how to bring this music into a European context without appropriating or re-contextualising it in a wrong way. The records you hear in this mix are what was left after hours and days of exchange and conversation - a collective compilation of sorts, not of the rarest stuff out there, but instead of what everyone could agree on was fun :)
