Alma Negra is back, this time with the first release from "The Alma Negra Live Band". Although the band has had many
international gigs, this is the first release that Alma Negra recorded with their musicians live in the studio. Cooperation with
musicians has become an important part of the Alma Negra Sound over the past 5 years.
"Mombasa to Lagos" is a straight Afrobeat with electronic influences. "Mombasa to Lagos" is a straight Afrobeat with
electronic influences. A journey from east to west from Mombasa to Lagos. "San Jon" is a streetprosession in Cabo Verde to
celebrate the Saint Jon (John). It's a 3/4 rhythm played with drums and people dance. Taxi Radio is a wild taxi ride. Uptempo
beat, reggae, wild percussions and nasty synths are combined in one track. With his remix, Mehmet Aslan expands the
rhythmic variety with a Soca interpretation of San Jon. The song is a trippy track reminiscent of long club nights. Alma Negra's
Night Mix rounds out the EP with a deep version of the original.
