Branko - Soma
Branko, the Portuguese producer and Enchufada label owner, announced his fourth solo album 'Soma.' The project pushes the maintained standard for over a decade in shaping the expression of electronic global music to greater heights. The producer started the creative process with a three-day jam session in Lisbon, with local musicians, over a framework of multiple beats, later recomposed as a repository of grooves that served as the blueprint for the album's instrumental. Branko's artistic vision for Soma is grounded in authenticity and the expression of local and global talent. He has collaborated not only with critical Lisbon-based musicians, but also with vocalists from London, Cape Verde, and Brazil, including Jay Prince, June Freedom, BIAB, and Tuyo. Lisboa never sounded so good. Soma see's Branko evolving his production process by incorporating some of the cities most relevant musicians alongside a large array of global vocal guests. The twelve tracks feature collaborations with artists such as London-based Jay Prince and Angolan-Portuguese musician Carla Prata, Cape Verdean American artist June Freedom, Rio de Janeiro-based artist BIAB, Portuguese singer Teresa Salgueiro, Brazilian band Tuyo, Lisbon-based Dino d’Santiago, Ghanaian music producer Gafacci, London-based Ghanaian rapper and vocalist Bryte, Sintra’s singers Yeri & Yeni, and Carlão, the frontman of Almada’s band Da Weasel. Branko achieved widespread recognition thanks to his continuous output of new music and his ability to turn his ideas into reality. As an artist, his three solo albums played a crucial role in showcasing his unique musical identity and vision, aided by iconic Live performances. He also founded Buraka Som Sistema and Enchufada, forces that still shape the expression of electronic music today.
