Afrobeat

A Son Magni

The latest in Names You Can Trust's series of tropical 45s is a sublime Dub Cumbia from El Combo Chimbita, an offshoot of the fast-rising MAKU Soundsystem. MAKU and El Combo Chimbita are comprised of young first-generation New Yorkers from Colombia, and their sound combines the duel trombone attack of classic NYC Salsa with a rootsy, bass-heavy, laid back groove. Completely organic, "Puro Show" has an undeniable funky charm.

The flip sees the much anticipated return of Greenwood Rhythm Coalition, who completely hotrod the original track, adding new instrumentation while turning it into a hard charging Ska that sounds like the Studio One house band live in Cartagena. "Puro Rock" is primed and ready for the dance floor!

Sample used from Modest Mouse's "Lampshades On Fire".

Lampshades on Fire - Modest Mouse (AyEmOh Remix)

Names You Can Trust presents the debut vinyl release from Romperayo, a new band led by drummer Pedro Ojeda (Los Pirañas, Frente Cumbiero, Ondatrópica). Further expanding the burgeoning live music scene of Bogotá, Colombia and featuring many of the same talented family of musicians, Romperayo similarly takes its musical cues from Colombia's rich musical history. These recordings dive deep into the country's coastal traditions with a unique present day twist via the inspired percussion of bandleader Ojeda, a melting pot of rhythms played with his own manic flare and style.

El Busetero Buscapleitos is deeply inspired by the rhythms and textures that made their way through the Caribbean and into the local picos (sound systems). A nod to musical outfits of the 1970's such as Wganda Kenya & Son Palenque, the song is a mixture of styles from West Africa, Trinidad and Haiti married with popular Colombian rhythms of the Caribbean coast like cumbia and chandé.

Que Viva La Vida y Que Muera La Muerte derives from the other coastal region of Colombia, the Pacific. Inspired by the Afro-Colombian form curralao, traditionally played with wooden drums, shakers & a marimba, it is here updated and electrified in a stripped down tribute to the grand orchestra of Peregoyo y su Combo.


Recorded in Audiovision Studios, Bogotá.
Mixed by Eblis Alvarez at Isaac Newton Studios.
Mastered by Frank at The Carvery, London.

Composed & Arranged by Pedro Ojeda.

Seun Kuti is the son of Fela Kuti, one of Africa’s greatest musician and the originator of Afrobeat. With the same energetic and booming voice as Fela, Seun has developed his own raging rhythm, citing Chuck D, Dr. Dre and Eminem among his other musical heroes. Seun started learning to play saxophone and piano when he was 8, and first appeared on stage at 9 as opening act with his father’s band, Egypt 80.

Dumbo Gets Mad - Radical Leap (N2B Disco Treatment)

Led by drummer / multi-instrumentalist Max Weissenfeldt (The Whitefield Brothers, The Poets of Rhythm, The Polyversal Souls) and Peruvian guitarist Alex Mendoza, this new studio ensemble takes it’s cues from Max’s experience under several different band variations that have explored Late-60’s Funk & Soul, West African Rhythms, Ethiopian Grooves and now, for the first time on record, Afro-Peruvian Cumbia. Alex Mendoza’s quintessentially Peruvian style psychedelic guitar licks lay a sabor never heard before onto Max's typically raw and funky percussion style. It’s another notch in an increasingly diversified portfolio for Max.

Seun Kuti - Rise

Bonga's brand new album "Hora Kota", a remedy for the blues.
Release date : February 13th, 2012

Kambua, the spoilt dogs of the rich and hungry dogs of the poo

Hora Kota: The Time of the Elders.
This is Bonga's thirtieth album - his fifth on the Lusafrica label - featuring eleven faultless new songs reporting on the state of his native Angola where he is again living after a very long absence. Bonga is a sincere man with broad shoulders. He knows how to dig in his heels and push back. The French singer Bernard Lavilliers appreciates that, as he does Bonga's husky voice and blues that ring true. So the album has two special tracks, two duets: Angola, released by Lavilliers on Causes perdues et musiques tropicales (Lost Causes and Tropical Music), and Dikanga with Agnès Jaoui.

Bonga - Kambuá

The Whitefield Brothers - Safari Strut

Alin-The Whitefield Brothers

The Whitefield Brothers-Chich

The original incarnation of the Crooklyn Dodgers was a hip hop supergroup consisting of Special Ed, Masta Ace and Buckshot with production by A Tribe Called Quest. Their raison d’etre was to create the title track for Spike Lee’s 1994 film, <i>Crooklyn</i>. We sped up the group’s collectively laid back rhymes and fused it with the raw, heavy, afro psych-funk of German duo, The Whitefield Brothers (also known as The Poets of Rhythm). “Rampage” was originally an obscure, crate diggers’ 10” release. Luckily for us, Now-Again Records included the track, in addition to other rarities, when they reissued The Whitefield’s debut, <i>In The Raw</i>. We hope you enjoy this Brooklyn-Munich pairing as we continue exploring new ways to connect golden era hip hop with global funk rhythms.
