El Niño De Almaden
Grands Cantaores Du Flamenco

"Les Muhamed Ali du monde du spectacle" peut-on lire sur le verso de la jaquette de l'album. L'orchestre Les Mangelepa développe un son hybride fait de Rumba et de sonorité Soukous/Highlife plus moderne. Une belle copie pour les amateurs du genre.

1967 descargas album by Peruvian percussionist Coco Lagos y Sus Orates, featuring Alfredo Linares, Charlie Palomares, Otto de Rojas, Mario Allison. This album was recorded following the success of the descarga sessions released by New York label Alegre Records. It includes a version of Cal Tjaders Mamblues and 'Brava pachanga', an original by the Father of Boogaloo, Joe Cuba, among many other stand-out tracks.Quality official reissue on 180g vinyl after years unavailable. Includes insert with liner notes.

This record with multiple influences, ranging from samba to Afrobeat through soul and French chanson, is a real ray of light that makes you want to escape and takes you far from home. Once again, the unstoppable digger and beatmaker surprises us and shows us how well he masters the art of sampling.

Rewind to 1975, Brazilian supergroup Azymuth hit their richest creative vein with this self-titled full-length. Just as the band remain so themselves, this is still hugely relevant and ridiculously on-point considering it's 40 years on the clock. Proof can be found on every track from the sedative harmonic charms of the opener "Linha Do Horizonte", the raw slap bass funk, velvet keys and soaring synths on "Seems Like This" and the frenetic, almost techy mentality of "Wait For My Turn". An essential addition to any collection, this would have blown minds to pieces back in 1975.

Après un premier album éponyme largement salué en 2018, nommé aux Grammy ainsi qu’aux Billboard Latin Music Awards, le supergroupe américano-cubain Orquesta Akokán poursuit sa conquête avec un second LP sur le prestigieux label new-yorkais Daptone Records, qui fête ses 20 ans cette année.
