The rare Afro-Latin Funkjoint "African Fever" by the Italian duo "The Tropicals" (Giancarlo Barigozzi and Oscar Rocchi) was released as a 7inch single in 1972. 

The rework is a collaboration between Dedy Dread (Lisbon) and SoulBrigada, which was already produced back in 2016 in Zurich | Switzerland. After a few years of maturation it's finally time to release this one. Enjoy it!

The Tropicals - African Fever (SoulBrigada & Dedy Dread Rework)

Peruvian guitarist Maurizio Fabbri brings us a sweet chicha groove with the flavor of 1970s psychedelic Peruvian Cumbia. Hammond Classics from Athens Greece picks up the vibe with a DJ friendly remix that keeps in tact the integrity of the original song.

Maurizio Fabbri - Chicha Morada (Hammond Classics Remix)

Got this idea while visiting "Fourtwenty the BreakBar" in Athens. 
It was time for another Funked-Up Remix.  After a very nice contact with Antibalas, here it is. Came to Funk...

Panama Cardoon - Oye!

Barrio Latino brings you a very special edit. This time we take over a really amazing song that was taken to the fame by Fania All Starts and Cheo Feliciano, El Ratón.

This edit has been made from Los Invasores version so is even more rare and unique.

Hope you like it amigos!

Los Invasores - El Raton (Barrio Latino Edit) {free download}

Fun with funk and soul breaks. Result of an experimentation session some years ago to work out which breaks could be shoehorned into the same track.  Goes out to anyone that used to dance to 'How Gee' by Black Machine in the early nineties...still sounding heavy and fresh.

The Jungle Fire band digs deep into afro/latin funk with an approach that is both authentic and highly explosive! Comprised of musicians from the Los Angeles region, Jungle Fire pulls from only those who are dedicated to preserving, protecting and progressing LA’s funk and latin scenes. Members have performed with Stevie Wonder, Joe Bataan, Breakestra, Ozomatli, Quantic, Alice Russell, Celia Cruz, Orgone, The Greyboy Allstars and the list goes on. Summer of 2012 saw the release of Jungle Fire's debut vinyl 45 released on indie label Colemine Records, making big waves worldwide, to be followed by a second 7 inch this spring...

Grant Phabao is an amazing producer and multi-instrumentalist, recognized by many as 'the best sound engineer in Paris'. Backed by underground networker/A&R Djouls and designer Ben Hito, in the footsteps of his regular mixes on Paris DJs he's been putting out release after release every week for months already, relentlessly. A steady flow of singles and albums including collaborations with the most gifted musicians from the Afro/Reggae/Funk scene, including, Ebo Taylor, George Clinton, The Cactus Channel, Alice Russell, Shawn Lee, Franck Biyong, Lee Fields, Antibalas, The Souljazz Orchestra, The Lone Ranger, Carlton Livingston, Echo Minott, The Jays, The Silvertones and the list goes on. Summer 2013 should see the release of the Grant Phabao Afrofunk Arkestra album, following up on reggae albums from The Silvertones (feb 2013) The Jays (march 2013)…

Jungle Fire and Grant Phabao's musical universes collide with style & fashion on this brand new Paris DJs single featuring the magical keys of Guillaume Méténier aka Soul Sugar. The resulting combination is a unique 'Afrobeat meets Ska' concept, a blend of styles from L.A. to Paris creating a bridge between South America, Nigeria and Jamaica! An explosive dancefloor filler for sure.

The Rebel - Minha Estrela (feat. Livio RB)

Long time collaborator and resident DJ of the UKs longest running club funk and soul promoters, Jelly Jazz. Also exploring new style of clubbing with Rambunctious Social Club project in the southwest of Britain. Recently returned from 16 months in latin America traveling with my wife and collecting sounds as I go with a Sony PCM D50 handheld field recorder. We made a baby in Peru who was born back in England last June...a daughter! So time is short now...I'll be fitting music whenever I can. 

REQUEST FOR HELP and ADVICE:  I see Soundcloud as a fantastic learning opportunity. I'm the first to admit I'm a beginner at production. If there are any half competent producers out there that can clearly hear problems with my tunes or things that I could improve on then PLEASE do let me know. I'm not proud. It can be incredibly difficult to get good advice about sound production so I greatly appreciate constructive criticism. Bear in mind I'm mixing on headphones at the moment. Also all of my remixes are additive in that I have to take the entire original and add parts to it. I can't take anything away because I don't have access to studio track files. But any help you can give me would be appreciated.  Cheers Griff

PS I've also started the 'Nueva Andina' group and will be moderating that to help promote the artists that are experimenting with modern forms of Andean music.
