“THE ROAD IS NEVER EASY”. JUST ASK BCUC, CHANNELING THE SPIRIT OF SOWETO FOR OVER TWENTY YEARS, WITH INDIGENOUS FUNK, HIP-HOP CONSCIOUSNESS AND PUNK ROCK ENERGY MERGE INTO SOMETHING UTTERLY ORIGINAL AND DEEPLY ROOTED. ON THE CROSSROADS OF INTERCONTINENTAL EXCHANGES, NUEVOS RÍOS UNITES COLOMBIA’S ICONIC CANALÓN DE TIMBIQUÍ, LED BY THE UNMISTAKABLE VOICE OF NIDIA GÓNGORA, AND THE TOULOUSE-BASED TRIO RECO RECO, KNOWN FOR THEIR ELECTRONIC EXPLORATIONS OF TRANCE-DRIVEN RHYTHMS FROM SOUTH AMERICA AND BEYOND. TRUE TO THE SPIRIT OF A “MUSIC ACTIVIST”, FRENCHMAN KUBIX EXPLORES JAMAICAN JAZZ ON AN ALBUM WHERE THE GUITARS DO THE STORY TELLING.
THAT, AND MUCH MORE NEW SOUNDS ON RADIO MUKAMBO!
