Harambee means "let's all pull together" in Swahili. Through several trips to Kenya, this homage to the country of Kenya was born.The track is a clever disco composition with funky brass and guitar, groovy rhodes and catchy vocals. Definitely a summer anthem that carries you away. La Gozadera is inspired by Cuban carnival rhythms. For the production, the two Cubans Jose Braide (piano/synth), Alcides Toirac and the Spaniard Alberto Garcia (percussion) came together. Driving uptempo latin with its own twist makes this song unique. The track "When we used to dance" is afro disco boogie at it's finest, beaming you back to the 80's. Voilaaa built around Bruno "Patchworks" Hovart from Lyon gives the original track Harambee a deeper feel. Nice "highlife" brass and guitars reminiscent of Ghana, give the song its own vibe.
