Murmuring

Proudly presenting ‘Transe’ the first single taken from Zé Ibarra's forthcoming second album. You may be familiar with the hypnotic entrancing tones of Zé’s vocals, through his work in the four-piece, Latin Grammy award-winning Brazilian powerhouse, Bala Desejo and the band Dônica. Zé has also toured with Brazilian legend Milton Nascimento on vocals and guitar, a real honour but also a reflection of Zé's craft to be selected in the band by such a musical titan.

A classic singer-songwriter, 'Transe' sees Zé starting as the song would have been written, simply an acoustic guitar and his voice flowing in an intimate dance. It’s an instantly comforting tone reminiscent of classic Brazilian songs from the past (think Caetano Veloso), before the song builds with ghosty string arrangements, vocal overdubs, and percussion. The energy in Zé's voice intensifies to a climax, as the dial swings in a more contemporary direction powered by a grooving bassline. 

Speaking about the song, Zé mentions, “This song represents, at this moment, a side of me that is still little explored and more intimate. It moves between pop and conceptual, creating an experience closer to a film than a traditional song. This effect is reinforced by the guitar and bass of Frederico Heliodoro, who is also part of Milton Nascimento's band."

‘Transe’ therefore shows a more experimental side to Zé beyond the scared partnership of voice and guitar. Mixing elements of jazz, MPB, and progressive rock, it’s rich and dynamic with a cinematic feel that is full of suspense. A stunning single and a taste of what is to come from one of the finest modern-classic musicians in Brazil’s blooming contemporary scene.

PEPE LINK presents SCENES FROM MY SOUL II →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams
 
Sit back, relax, and immerse yourself in the sonic universe of Pepe Link
 
Some music is not just heard; it is felt. These are soundscapes that evoke memories,
awaken emotions, and transport us to places where time dissolves. Scenes from My Soul
II is precisely that: an unhurried journey, a whisper of waves, the warmth of the sun on
your skin. Pepe is a key figure in the Balearic chill-out scene and returns with his second
solo album following the success of his debut for MFD.
 
His music has been the soundtrack to unforgettable sunsets—a dialogue between
evocative electronica and Mediterranean echoes, between nostalgia and celebration. His
first album for Music for Dreams surpassed a million streams on digital platforms, and his
sound has become a sonic refuge for those seeking beauty and authenticity.
 
Pepe Link, DJ, producer, and music curator for the prestigious Cappuccino Grand Café
chain, has subtly defined the sonic identity of these spaces, infusing them with an
immersive and sophisticated atmosphere. Now, with Scenes from My Soul II, he invites us
to discover a new palette of emotions, where the roots of Balearic beat merge with
ethereal atmospheres, electronic textures, and the soft whispers of jazz. (Including a very special Balearic re-interpretation of Orbital’s classic ‘Belfast’ theme.)
 
To create this sonic mosaic, Pepe has surrounded himself with artists who, like him,
understand music as a language of the soul:
 
🎸 Tolo Servera, a renowned Mallorcan producer and guitarist who brings Pepe’s ideas to
life, adding his most organic nuances.
🎺 Alejandro Delgado, a free-spirited Cuban trumpeter whose music breathes with the
intensity of pure jazz.
🎺 Pepe Navarro, a fantastic young trumpetist, and one of the most exciting promises of Ibiza’s jazz-house scene.
🎤 Ella Crevani, an emerging voice of Balearic nu-soul, capable of enveloping listeners
with her sweetness and depth.
🎷 Copenema, a Brazilian saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist who paints melodies with
the warmth of a sunset on the beach.
🎤 Glen Antony, a voice that embraces and moves, with the soul of R&B beating in every
note.
🎸 Santino Surfers, a Danish guitarist with a hypnotic touch that caresses psychedelia.
 
On production, Pepe Link has counted on the collaboration of Kiko Navarro, a friend and
master of sound, who has brought his studio expertise to infuse the mixes with both
freshness and depth.
 
Scenes from My Soul II is an honest album, free from artifices or pretension, created out of love for music and the need to share it. A record to close your eyes and feel, to travel
without moving, to find beauty in every chord. Because, in the end, music is nothing more
than this: an invisible bridge between souls, destined to endure through time

Kenneth Bager - The Sunset Sessions, Vol. 13 (Full Comp) - 0377

This one was an unexpected treat. Two of our favourite contemporary musicians, Finn Rees & Sholto coming together and collaborating on a double dose of celestial, cinematic alchemy.

At Mr Bongo we are massive admirers of drummer, musician, and producer Sholto (Oscar Robertson). His two albums on Funk Night Records and DeepMatter Records, had both been highlights of their respective years. We’d gotten to know Oscar and sent him a few records. Included in the package was Australian pianist-composer Finn Rees’ debut album, Dawn Is A Melody, which was one of our favourite releases on Mr Bongo in 2024.

In Oscar's words 'For me it was a standout modern jazz record - encapsulating a spiritual / hazy dreamy soundscape which hugely resonated with me. Glissando keys and harp with lush melodies, I was instantly intrigued.”  

The pair started following each other online and as luck would have it, Finn was staying in London for the summer season, so they arranged to meet. The pair instantly clicked and said it felt like they'd known each other for years. After 40 minutes of chatting, they started to jam. 

'Love In Memory' and 'Bluebell' were recorded over two days - a track a day in Oscar's SFJ studios. Laid down on mostly analogue equipment, the pair utilised Wurlitzer’s, mellotrons, and ribbon mics through Oscar’s ‘70s Studer desk. Composed and crafted without any real intentions, other than a shared appreciation for the same style of music and approach, the tracks started to take shape. The results were as lush, nostalgic and textured as you’d expect from these two brilliant musicians, with a classical feel inspired by artists such as Piero Piccioni, Piero Umiliani, and Henry Mancini. 

For the beautiful string arrangements, the pair recruited the talents of Sholto's long-time friend and collaborator Clementine Brown (Penguin Cafe Orchestra) and Matthew Hayes of 30/70, Allysha Joy, Xpress Point, Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange fame, was brought in to play bass on 'Bluebell'.

So here we have it, a chance collaborative project built on two musicians' mutual respect for each other's outputs. The result is truly breathtaking.
