The eagerly awaited Sunlightsquare album ‘King Yoruba’ is finally here. And it’s well worth the wait.

The rule-breaker, tastemaker and trendsetter Claudio Passavanti (the mastermind behind Sunlightsquare) is back, with his usual style, panache and grace.

Recorded in both Havana and London, ‘King Yoruba’ features the sophisticated and unique vocal styling of Cuban Javier Valera on the fantastic ‘Afro Boogie Super Hombre’.

The album’s HUGE and exciting brass intricacies are coupled with skilful percussion and the production values that you have come to expect from Sunlightsquare. You will also find a couple of  Sunlightsquare reworks of classic songs. You know the ones, the ones you should NEVER cover. 

Yet, once again Claudio Passavanti has completely rewritten the rulebook and reworked the Earth, Wind & Fire classic ‘Fantasy’. Fantastically produced with amazing and exciting breakdowns that even Earth, Wind & Fire would be proud of. ‘Fantasy’ features vocals from London Soul and RnB vocalist Kevin Mark Trail and Cuban Lazaro Antonio Rodriguez. 

You will have also heard ‘Breakin’ Down (Sugar Samba) – Dale Ma!’  A Latin infused Sunlightsquare rework of the Julia & Company song from 1983, which features voice of René Alvarez and could be heard everywhere this year in the Nick Frost and Chris O’Dowd movie ‘Cuban Fury’. 

This is not the first time Sunlightsquare have broken all rules, and it will not be the last. In March 2010, Sunlightsquare released the highly successful and critically acclaimed Jackson Sisters cover version of ‘I Believe In Miracles’ and turned it on its head. Therefore fans know what to expect from Signor Passavanti.

Look out for ‘Caleidoscopico’ too. The fusion of horns, flute, percussion, 70s funk and jazz is sublime. 

The Latin-American and Afro-Caribbean influences are here for all to see and experience, a truly eclectic venture ‘King Yoruba’ will take you to places you never thought possible.

Sunlightsquare - Oyelo (Kay Suzuki By The Sea Mix) (STW Premiere)

@Sunlightsquare’s first single of 2017, Oyelo, is a mixture of Jazz, Cuban and House music in its most authentic form. Starting with moody latin-jazz piano and sun-drenched live percussion played by master percussionist Giovanni Imparato, the track is driven by the classic house beat of the TR-909 - the legendary 1980's drum machine. Ronnie Scott’s resident Cuban singer Rene Alvarezdelivers the impassioned vocals, followed by the main man Claudio Passavanti’s heated Montuno piano riffs, which combine seamlessly to create a blissful, dance-floor experience. It's a perfect marriage of organic grooves, lush beats and soulful vocals, joining the dots between different generations of latin dance music.

Piers kirwan - Bring You

Renowned as an artist with an exceptionally wide musical vision, Sunlightsquare (Claudio Passavanti) is more than just adept and eclectic - be it disco, afro-cuban, latin soul, or house, Sunlightsquare can always be relied on to forge highly individual music that sets itself apart from the crowd.

Thunder In The Jungle (Part 1) is a hugely atmospheric, minimalist slice of percussion driven, contemporary club land exotica. The hypnotic beat, laced with the ambient sounds of the rain-forest is interspersed with waves of synths, vocal ad-libs and that insistent, pulsing beat. The Drum Mix continues these themes, but adds further syncopation, turning up the tropical heat and intensity.

The well renowened DJ/producer Hallex M gets his hands on Thunder In The Jungle, breaking down the groove then building it up to an imposing, brooding crescendo of multi-layered musicality.

Part 2, the final excursion, features further synth extravagance, afrobeat guitar hooks and sweetly rounds off this 4 part foray into Sunlightsquare's musically tropical paradise.
