Juanita Euka - Mabanzo - an engrossing (and beautifully produced) tour through Afro-Latin styles (Strut Records)

Strut present the debut solo album Mabanzo by Congolese vocalist, Juanita Euka. A familiar face to many from London’s vibrant live music scene over the last decade, Juanita has fronted London Afrobeat Collective’s dynamic live shows, the fusions and cross-pollinations of Animanz and maverick Cuban collective Wara. As a solo artist, she broke through in early 2020, performing her single ‘Alma Seca’ in series 3 of blockbuster series Killing Eve. Originally from DR Congo and brought up in Buenos Aires, Juanita’s upbringing involved many different musical influences, not least her uncle, Congolese rumba giant Franco Luambo Makiadi. “In Argentina, I listened to a wide range of styles from African-American artists to Dominican stars like Juan Luis Guerra, the Congolese greats like my uncle and Papa Wemba and various artists from Argentina including Mercedes Sosa. Some of my main inspirations were (and still are) international Afro-Cuban artists like Celia Cruz and La Lupe.” Moving to the UK aged 14, she joined Afro-Peruvian band Malambo and immersed herself in London’s own sounds, from Soul to Jazz to Funk. With her new album Mabanzo (meaning ‘Thoughts’), Juanita brings together her many and varied musical influences into play and pulls no lyrical punches. Killer dancefloor single ‘Nalingi Mobali Te’ is pure contemporary Congolese guitar gold, ‘Mboka Moka’ channels ‘80s boogie and Quincy horn stylings on an anthem for personal struggle and ‘Baño de Oro’ brings a heavy Afro-Cuban workout. Elsewhere, the epic ballad ‘Sueños de Libertad’ is an impassioned call for freedom and the lilting ‘For All It’s Worth’ champions love over materialism. Recorded entirely at home studios during lockdown, the album was painstakingly constructed by producer Greg Sanders with all musicians recorded remotely. “I have always written songs and poems since I was young,” reflects Euka. “I met Greg, a multi-instrumentalist and producer, while I was in Wara and we started the journey towards a solo project. Greg has that knowledge and vision of different sounds and it is the perfect way to celebrate my music journey. I have tried to bring all of the musical heritage that I have experienced into my album.” Juanita Euka: Lead Vocals, Backing Vocals Greg Sanders: Guitars, Bass Guitars, Keys, Synths, Programming Sara Farina: Bass Guitar Tom Herbert: Upright Bass Chris Williams, Leo Richardsdon, Sam Rapley: Saxophones Eliane Correa: Keys Will Fry, Ernesto Marichales, Leandro Mancini-Olivos, Richard Olatunde Baker, Lya Reis Guerruero: Percussion Flora Curzon: Violin Kareem Dayes: Cello Fabio De Oliveira, Ben Assiter, George Bird: Drumkit Graeme Flowers: Trumpet, Flugelhorn Kieran McLeod, Landy Diaz: Trombone Jonathan Whitten: Hammered Dulcimer All tracks arranged & produced by Greg Sanders All tracks mixed by Lester Salmins

Watch Jordan Rakei play "Say Something", "Mind's Eye", "Talk To Me" and "Speak" at the Tiny Desk. More from NPR Music: Tiny Desk Concerts: https://www.npr.org/tinydesk Twitter: https://twitter.com/nprmusic Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nprmusic Jan. 13, 2020 | Suraya Mohamed -- Sometimes, things don't go smoothly at the Tiny Desk. After traveling all night, the soulful R&B artist Jordan Rakei and his band pulled up to NPR in their tour bus at the crack of dawn, only to find the Fender Rhodes we'd rented for him didn't have the right action. But after quickly ordering a replacement (that arrived moments before the Tiny Desk performance started), Rakei and his band locked-in and played a phenomenal set. The band opened with "Say Something," from the group's 2019 album, Origin. It's a song that encourages people to take action and speak up for themselves. They followed with "Mind's Eye," a commentary on technology that questions whether advancements are always a good idea. After playing "Talk To Me," from the group's 2016 debut album, Cloak, they returned to their most recent release to close with "Speak," a reflective song with a beautiful solo piano accompaniment. Inspired by the TV show and book The Handmaid's Tale, it imagines a world where nuclear war has left half the women infertile, as technology runs amok. Despite the sometimes dystopian themes in his music, Rakei's sound is easygoing and colorful. While steady grooves connect his singular blend of jazz and R&B, his tight chord voicings, compelling rhythms and mesmerizing vocals make for a wonderful performance.

Escucha "Tiempo" el nuevo sencillo de Wara

Influenciadas  profundamente por los ritmos urbanos de América Latina, Wara es un grupo musical que alimenta su sonido con un dembow cargado de graves, sintetizadores penetrantes y hip-hop. El proyecto es dirigido por la productor y compositor Eliane Correa, la banda se formó en 2010, y desde entonces se ha hecho de un nombre por impulsar una narrativa latinoamericana que celebra las culturas musicales regionales como el mambo y la cumbia. Con antecedentes que abarcan desde Cuba hasta el Congo, Venezuela y Chile, las actuaciones de Wara son un homenaje musical a su herencia; provocativa y potente. Con esta fusión de influencias Wara presenta "Tiempo", un canción acerca de este concepto y el poder que representa.  El coro de la canción: "Tengo todo el tiempo del mundo para ti", es un llamado rebelde a mostrar amor en estos tiempos acelerados. La canción se trata del hecho de que no podemos engañar al tiempo. En cualquier instante, todos nos iremos. El tiempo está aquí para recordarnos que hagamos que nuestro tiempo aquí cuente. Con su groove inspirado en el dembow con bajos pesados ​​salpicados de tambores de samba, la paleta de sintetizadores y las guitarras le dan un toque etéreo a esta poderosa canción. Producido por Eliane Correa junto con su baterista Ernesto Marichales, "Tiempo" es un himno con los raps bilingües de Fedzilla superpuestos con la poderosa voz latina de Juanita, la banda crea un sonido latino-londinense.  "Tiempo" marca el comienzo del primero de una serie de lanzamientos recientes de Wara después de un largo descanso.

Waaju - Grown - another fruit of the fecund UK jazz scene (Olindo Records)

Pulsing Afro-Latin roots and UK jazz combine on Grown, the latest album by London-based quintet Waaju, released via Olindo Records. Fusing dexterous hand-percussion, hypnotic guitar riffs and soaring melodies, Waaju connect a wide range of traditional musics percolating at different corners of the global soundscape yet with a distinctly of-the-moment and British jazz flavour. Led by drummer and percussionist Ben Brown (Alfa Mist, Dizraeli, Ashley Henry), and comprising members across the UK’s extensive music scene including, percussionist Ernesto Marichales (Jordan Rakei, Sigala), guitarist Tal Janes (Nubiyan Twist, Bahla), Sam Rapley (Fabled, Maria Chiara Argiro) and Joe Downard (China Moses, Judi Jackson), Waaju’s unique and divergent sound connects the dots between the likes of Beth Carvalho, Oscar D’Leon, Alain Peters and Los Muñequitos de Matanzas. Waaju formed as a means of exploring music’s hidden connections, from trance-inducing Moroccan gnawa to Caribbean carnival music, and embracing them to reflect the different layers of London’s own musical culture. It was the band’s love for Mali’s folk music – and Ali Farka Touré’s stylistic prowess in particular – that first set the project in motion. London’s Jazz Cafe invited Waaju to reinterpret classic tracks from Farka Touré’s catalogue to sold-out audiences in 2018 and 2019. According to Brown: “Ali’s one of the best. He has such a unique sound. His playing is so gnarly. His spirit and attitude are things I always think of when making music.” Waaju (meaning ‘to urge, inspire or influence to take action’ in Bambara) blend Latin polyrhythms, psychedelic Malian blues licks and dancefloor-oriented UK jazz arrangements. Following the group’s 2018 self-titled debut LP, Grown represents Waaju at their most distinctive and refined.

Waaju - s/t LP (Olindo Records)

We’re delighted to present our second release and first LP on Olindo Records by London based afro-latin jazz quintet Waaju.

The five cuts on this LP are only a snapshot of what they’re doing and continually trying to do - the tip of the iceberg - but one that speaks volumes about their intentions.
