OTRO CICLO marca una nueva etapa para Sofree. Su ritmo nace del pulso vital del corazón. Su sonido evoluciona, respira y se expande sin dejar de estar anclado a la tierra. Un mantra dedicado a los días que pasan formando un todo, formando así nuestras vidas.-OTRO CICLO marks a new phase for Sofree. Its rhythms are born from the pulse of the heart. Its sound evolves, breathes and expands while still anchored to the earth. A mantra dedicated to the days that pass forming a whole, thus forming our lives.créditsparu le 15 janvier 2021Lead vocals & lyrics: Yasmeen QuintanaProduction & composition: Sylvain CouesmesArrangements: Sylvain Couesmes, Yasmeen Quintana,Eliane Correa (1, 4)Bass: Manoel TostoKeys: Eliane Correa (1, 4, 5) & Paquito de la Iguana (3)Double bass: Jimmy Martinez (1)Guitar: Manoel Tosto & Alexis Kraniou (1)Saxophone tenor: Julio Nahinim Carbonell Jenks (2, 3, 4)Trumpet: Abel Herrera (2, 4) & Yelfris Valdés (1)Trombone: Joan Codina (2, 3, 4) & Landy Diaz (1)Percussion: Alan Sousa (3, 4)Production : ALM (5)Backing vocals: Loïza, Alan Sousa, Clémence Nguon,Andrés Giraldo, Sylvain Couesmes (4)Recorded in Panaba Studio, Aclam Records & Studio 389.Mixed by Studio 389 (1), Panaba Studio (2, 3, 4) & ALM (5).Mastered by Adrien Lammoglia at ALM Studio.

From Shrine to Stax, Isaac Hayes to Gloria Ann Taylor, The Mad Lads to The Staples Singers, Detroit to Atlanta, Kendrick to Pusha-T, Dale Warren’s singular voice is the lone constant. Beneath the ethereal beauty of his productions was a genius crippled by his unbridled id. His everevolving 24-Carat Black project spanned the ’70s, producing a masterpiece and an unfinished follow up. Discovered in a storage space were Warren’s 1980s demos cut with grown n’ sexy divas Princess Hearn, Vicki Gray, and LaRhonda LeGette right before his untimely death at the age of 50. III is an unfinished symphony that peels away the final layer of Dale Warren’s mysterious oeuvre.
