MIMS is very excited to have the first drop on Orestes Gomez' remix for fellow Venezuelan Raúl Monsalve y los Forajidos' "Bocón". A lush neo-soul & jazz heavy bed for Luzmira Zerpa's poignant verbal attack on lying politicians. Taken from a forthcoming remixes 45 on London-based Olindo Records.

Orestes' remix made a BIG impression on Raúl Monsalve: "I was so impressed by what Orestes did, taking the original track to another realm... and groovy as a motherfucker". Orestes is joined on the track by some impressive sidemen, including bassist Daniel Briceño (La Vida Boheme) and flautist Eric Chacón (Tony Succar / Miguel Siso).

Orestes Gomez is one of the most recognized drummers in Latin America. His work fusing musical genres including: Afro, Latin, Hip Hop, and Jazz has earned him international recognition. He has travelled the world playing and collaborating with some of the most respected bands of Latin America including; Los Amigos Invisibles, Gustavo Dudamel, Caloncho, Mcklopedia, Apache, and Akapellah. On the remix he is joined by some exciting musicians, including bassist Daniel Briceño (La Vida Boheme) and flautist Eric Chacón (Tony Succar / Miguel Siso).

Last year Orestes produced the entirety of 'Dealers in Caracas', a hip hop album in partnership with Venezuelan MC Mcklopedia, and earlier this year he released a series of contemporary jazz pieces in a trio with Latin Grammy nominated pianist Gabriel Chakarji and bassist Freddy Adrian.

Raúl Monsalve and his all-star family of musicians received praise and support for their exciting fusion of Afro Venezuelan rhythms with Latin jazz, psych, funk and Afrobeat, from the likes of Gilles Peterson, Gideon Coe, Huey Morgan, Stuart Maconie (BBC Radio 6 Music), Jazz FM, NTS, Songlines, Bandcamp, Radio Nova, Le Grigri, FIP, and of course, Music Is My Sanctuary.

Raúl Monsalve y los Forajidos are currently on a European tour with dates across France, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland and the Supersonic Jazz Festival in Amsterdam.

The Orestes Gomez remix of "Bocón" is streaming from this week across all the usual platforms and is available to pre-order on vinyl and download from the Olindo Records Bandcamp. The full 45 with a remix of another 'Bichos' cut, by fellow Venezuelan Venezonix, is due for release on September 4, 2021.

I Am The Black Gold Of The Sun (Ohmega Watts Remix)

A Masterful Trio featuring Grand Master Riley Lee on the Shakuhachi, Shivam Rath on the Indian Slide Guitar and Maharshi Raval's Tabla leading the percussion. While based on an Indian Classical formula a slow carefully structured arrangement of phrasing within the  chosen Raga/ scale balances the melodic component with constant improvisation.

Riding on the heels of their first single off of <i>Vol. 2 (Walk On By)</i> with its orchestral soul arrangements, the second single from <i>Vol. 2</i>, Rotary Connection's "I Am the Black Gold of the Sun," is an ode to the beautifully epic orchestral arrangements of producer Charles Stepney.

But this time, the Decoders have decided to venture into the Brazilian repertoire, incorporating Samba and Jazz elements into the group's psychedelic soul arrangement.

This version features <a href="http://soundcloud.com/wax-poetics/sets/venice-dawn-something-about/">Adrian Younge's Venice Dawn</a> vocalists Loren Oden and Brooke De Rosa on vocals, as well as Jungle Fire's Steve Haney on percussion and Brazilian musician Quetzal Guerrero on percussion and berimbau.

The artwork for the single is an original painting by Los Angeles–based artist Michelle Robinson. Michelle's work has been praised by Cee-Lo Green, among others. For more info, check out her <a href="http://www.michellizm.com/">website</a>.
