Everyone Back To Mine With Alma Negra
We always keep a close eye on Alma Negra to see what they are getting up to. Their combination of world vibes intertwined with a subtle touch of funk and a percussion heavy dancefloor nous has seen them win a legion of fans across the globe including Giles Peterson.
Their latest EP Harambee (Let’s all pull together in Swahili) has just landed and as always it’s packed with quality world dancefloor vibes. The eponymous title track sees them pay a homage to Kenya with funky brass and guitar, groovy Rhodes and catchy vocals, a clever summer disco track. It’s a track which is also remixed by Voilaa who takes it off to deeper territory.
La Gozadera meanwhile is inspired by Cuban carnival rhythms and When We Used To Dance is the finest Afro Disco Boogie.
