Mandingda

Interpreter: King Kora
Label: AYAM
Location: Gambia/Switzerland

Electro-tribal groove-tunes, recorded in the Gambia and then fiddled with back in Switzerland. The contemporary-retro vibe features a wide variety of singers, including former Northern Soul star Derek Martin, enough instrumentalists to shake a stick at and, of course, someone to take care of the programmed drums. Well, it’s contempry, innit. Club-friendly, meaning you’re getting four-on-the-floor until the goats come home.
