*******************************************************

In this 136-minute voyage, we canter around the Tropics to soak in a healthy dose of esoteric gyrations deeply rooted in canonical African rhythms.

 Dundunbanza is an “evil” Congolese spirit which has been defied for centuries by the followers of the Palo Monte religion that gained prominence in Cuba. And while “bad” spirits in African traditions are not always evil per se (an imperialist concept imposed through colonization and Christianity), they are in fact often seen as a metaphysical vessel for one’s intentions and worthiness. That being said, the song “Dundunbanza” (n° 13 in the mix) by Arsenio Rodriguez - one of the originators of Cuban Son Montuno – is in fact calling out a certain malevolent spiritual presence! If this spirit has been reincarnated today in the form of a severe acute respiratory syndrome known as SARS-CoV-2 to agonise our lives, then by the power of Arsenio’s mambo may this spirit twist and turn to his demise!

 While the tracks selected for this mix aren’t all necessarily related to African religions, they pay homage to the vibrant African heritage that they draw inspiration from. The spirit of the mix is that the power of joyful melancholy and minor scales over pure rhythmic hypnosis, can transcend a listener or dancer to a state of elation.

Non-stop vintage Latin and Tropical rarities from across the Atlantic and other (sub)tropical regions recorded from original LPs, 45s and old shellacs found by Fred from Souma records, as a guest mix for the Turning Point Sessions friends in Toronto.
