Pour ce morceau extrait de mon album et en collaboration avec l’unique Baron Rétif, tout est dans le titre: addiction au bon vin, a la procrastination, a l’amour, a la belle vie, à l’epicurisme, aux beats laidback, au funk, aux substances parfois illicites... mais une addicition contrôlée bien sûr.

→ This week! New single Râler by Togo's afro-funk craze Peter Solo's Vaudou Game with "Koliko" as a B-side! A pleasant surprise with a Canadian-Brazilian collaboration, Badbadnotgood and Tim Bernardes (from the great O Terno) teaming up to release the beautiful "Poeira Cosmica". Another release from Canada with Montreal-based Poirier releasing his new LP Quiet Revolution with the single "Agua Oro" with Colombian-based singer Ramon Chicharron. We also pay tribute to two greats who passed away recently... Quincy Jones's legacy includes iconic theme music of American TV shows, including "Sanford and Son", "The French Prince of Bel-Air", and "Hikky Burr" for "The Bill Cosby Show", that was included in his 1970 LP Smackwater Jack. Also paying tribute to American sax-player Lou Donaldson with a soul-jazz version of Gershwin's classic "Summertime" on Blue Note back in 1969. Enjoy!

Cantar das Kandakinhas

Pedro Ricardo

2023 · Portugal, UK

Last month, we introduced you to the work of Portuguese producer Pedro Ricardo with the track "Do Outro Lado do Mar" from the amazing Jazzego compilation Granito featuring many interesting Portuguese jazz projects. Today we're super happy to Premiere "Cantar das Kandakinhas", one of our favorite tracks from Pedro's first LP Soprem Bons Ventos, which translates to "Good Winds Blow". A beautiful folk track filled with a delicate guitar reminiscent of the artist's Portuguese background, airy vocals and some mysteriously repetitive background vocals. Haunting! The LP is out this Friday 17th of February via never disappointing Soundway Records!
