During the 70s and 80s, Ivory Coast was the center of the West African music scene, both by the quality of its productions (labels, studio, musicians) and by the attraction it represented for musicians from various horizons (Mali, Guinea, Congo, Ghana, Bénin, Burkina Faso ...). We honor this cultural and musical abundance with some beautiful LP's digged in Abidjan.

T.P. orchestre Poly-Rythmo: "Agueche"

Brownswood are delighted to announce that we have signed Cuban singer Daymé Arocena.
Daymé was part of the Havana Cultura Mix project, which saw Gilles Peterson mentoring selected producers from around the world to make a record in Cuba with local musicians. She auditioned, prompting all producers to decide they wanted to work with her... In the end, she sung on three tracks on the album, including the massive "U Knew Before”. Seeing huge potential in her, Gilles invited her to London to perform at the album launch event, where she enchanted the packed out audience, and it was decided she should record a solo project for Brownswood Recordings / Havana Cultura. The announcement brought out a loud, rich, infectious laugh instantly recognizable as Dayme’s deep and chocolaty voice. “My first record, here,” she squeals. “It’s a crazy dream.”

Gonna Be My Day (Henrik Schwarz Acoustronic Remix)

I had the beat only: drums, percussion sounds and breaks, and then added a bit of the synth bass to it. I liked the afro-beatish kind of raw sound of those elements and then Milton Gulli of Cacique '97 (@cacique97) - Portugal's leading afro-beat band - came to my mind. I sent him the beat to Maputo, where he now lives, and a few weeks later I was surprised by how much love he put back into his contribution: all the guitars, bass line and synths were played and recorded over the original beat. All I did afterwards was find the perfect vocal sample to complement Milton's input. I've been playing this track live with my Meu Kamba collective and it's a real banger.
