Ocote Soul Sounds & Adrian Quesada - Coconut Rock
(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!!
