Afro-funk electronica. A solid dance floor groove w/tasty Afro-Latin roots and an international urban sound. Tight production values and hip performances throughout.
*1. Upbeat and driving w/some great vocals.
*2. Tripping beat w/extra cool female vocals. Upbeat & catchy.
3. Flute leads into a dishy, sophisticated groove.
*4. Fast and sexy vocals, brass, beats. Lots of coolness.
5. Guitar and percussion then fast horns. Serious funkiness.
6. Solid midtempo grunge groove w/spare use of brass.
7. Blippy upbeat beats dominate this sharp electro groove.
8. Serious vocals and programming mix into a sweet upbeat jam.
*9. Balafon and beats. Starts mid, gets into a wild, upbeat mix.
*10. Sweetly relaxed brass then warm percussion. So cool.
11. Busier remix of #4.
