"Afro" review!
Novalima's, "Afro": This collective began in 2001 when 4 Peruvian musicians began to blend Afro-Peruvian and Latin percussion with down tempo, dub, broken, and house beats. “Afro” re-lives the stories of black people in Peru who wrote about their fears, sufferings, culture and anguish after they were chained to boats and taken from W. Africa to be enslaved in European colonies in the Americas. With a listen to this album, you’ll feel the music repeatedly asking your body to dance to its rhythmical splendor. You’ll also hear samples from Peruvian legends such as Lucha Reyes, Lucilia Campos, & Zambo Cavero. All tracks are soulful, my recommendations are as follows:#1. Begins w/ traditional percussive sounds then graduates to a larger sound with a full band.
#3. Slower tempo, strong female vocals w/ trumpet & synth beats.
#4. If you can’t salsa, you can 2 step to this!
#8. Rhythm & bass guitar, vocals sampled, somewhat redundant/trance inducing.
#9. Slow tempo at first, but when rhythms catch, it completes the wheel of yr. listening pleasure.
#12. More opportunities to clap and dance!
#13. Med.-tempo, tango/flamenco feel.
