There is a clear line between the music of Turkish Islandman and rising Equadorian singer Huaira. Both are interested in bringing their native folklore into new expression. Both like to blend the organic with the electronic, synthesizing inherited identity as oblique pathways to the now.
On ‘Amarnos Ahora’ they explore this common ground. There’s a flamenco bend to the groove, otherwise of classic brazen islandman variety. Here enter Huaira’s vocals, a nebulous and enchanting chorus twirling serpentine around the bubbly synths. The sound is full of warm hues and crisp textures, highly danceable, recognizable yet cryptically pan-national.
Lastly, deserving special mention is the brilliant percussion work curtesy of recently deceased Bongo Entp. (Jacob Andersen). RIP.
Bit late top the table on this one so much of what I'd like to say has already been said. But. Phil Cooper delivers once again with a bag of sure fire treats for summer feets. Loads to stick in the bag here for sunsets, pool parties and wherever else your Balearic peccadillo might lead you. Great sampler. badgervsbaboon
