Featured Album
The featured album is new from Ayom which is called Sa.Li.Va. I saw them play WOMEX in 2022 in Lisbon filling the room with great vibes and much dancing. And this is such a good album. From Brazil, Angola, Italy and Greece with Brazilian singer and percussionist Jabu Morales they play music from the lusophone regions of Latin America, Africa, and the Mediterranean.
Their music that stretches across the Atlantic from from Brazil to Angola and in the middle of the ocean the Portuguese speaking Cape Verde is included.
They say their sound is a mix of Brazilian, Tropical, Afrolatin, and Afrolusitan but also influenced by the cosmopolitan energies of Lisbon and Barcelona, where the group’s musicians have made their homes. In fact they were formed in Barcelona with the aim of composing new music that fuses Brazilian rhythms with rhythms from all over the world.
