Never Knew

Rough Trade Verified independent store

For Fans Of... Quantic, Erykah Badu, Fela Kuti, Antibalas. Unique blend of Alt. R&B and afrobeat. Smokey, soulful vocals, lush hom section and percussion. "Never Knew" features Div ina Jasso's illustrious vocals over a heavy backbeat marinated in distorted farfisa, percussion, and a dynamic 3-piece horn section; a meditative groove that will keep your head nodding and hips swaying. On the flip, we have "Impala", a dark and hypnotic afrobeat tune that is mixed somewhere between Fela and Dr. Dre. Thick drums and bass with insistent percussion and scolding hot brass melted on top.
