(CD) Eighteen Street Lounge ESL151, 2009-06-23

Adrian Quesada and Martin Perna, respective band-leaders of famed ensembles Grupo Fantasma and Antibalas, once again unite under the Ocote Soul Sounds banner for their new full length album, Coconut Rock, released on ESL Music on June 23rd. After two stellar albums, this time around Coconut Rock finds the duo loosened up, slipping effortlessly into their trademark psychedelic afro-latin funk groove. From the descarga rhythms of album lead-off The Revolt of the Cockroach People to the cumbia bounce of Tu Fin, Mi Comienzo to the easy guitar soundscapes of Vendendo Saude e Fe featuring Brazilian songstress Tita Lima, Coconut Rock is the third chapter in Ocote Soul Sound's unparalleled journey through sonic realms beyond!
Last news I got from Martin was when he sent me the latest Ocote Soul Sounds 12 inch at the beginning of the year. He was enthousiastic about doing an exclusive mix for Paris DJs. I now there's a new Antibalas album to be recorded next month (June 2009) so I guess we should hear from him in July... Update August 2009 - Martin came to visit us in Paris and did collaboration work with Grant Phabao, Doctor L and Loik Dury respectively. He should be back in Europe touring with Ocote Soul Sounds early 2010. And he'll be back soon for a 30mn mix of exclusive Antibalas and Ocote Soul Sounds rarities! Yeepaa!! (Djouls)

Entitled 'Heart of the Future,' the hour plus mix is the perfect precursor to their debut full length, and serves as an important introduction to understanding the influences of Kabanjak and Dogu.
