Ya Foy!

Interpreter: Sarazino
Label: Cumbancha
Location: Ecuador

Algerian-born Lamine Fellah is the leading light behind Sarazino. Growing up in Spain, Switzerland, Burundi and Burkina Faso, he studied in Canada before finally moving to Ecuador. His peripatetic childhood clearly formed his musical vision, as he demonstrates here with the help of Toots Hibbert, among others, in a rousing mixture of Latin pop, reggae and funk.
