In the cross-genre spirit of the series, for Volume 8 we have selected\u003cbr\u003emusic from the worlds of soul, boogie, disco-reggae, jazz-funk, and Latin, with a hefty\u003cbr\u003echunk of beloved Brazilian music. Pulling these compilations together is always a\u003cbr\u003ehighlight of our year, and eight volumes in, we feel this is one of our strongest to date.\u003cbr\u003eThe album's journey begins with a heartfelt epic by As Ganhadeiras de Itapua, from\u003cbr\u003ethe Bahian town of Itapua. It's an area of Brazil that holds a special place in David 'Mr\u003cbr\u003eBongo' Buttle's heart, and where he first met our dear friend, Luciano Rodrigues Dos\u003cbr\u003eSantos, to whose memory this compilation is dedicated to. Staying in Northern Brazil,\u003cbr\u003enext up is a contemporary dancefloor gem by Ubunto, a DJ and producer from\u003cbr\u003eSalvador, which also features As Ganhadeiras de Itapua. The raw, dusty, punchy\u003cbr\u003esounds of zabumba drummer Castanheiro and the furious guitar- heavy dancer by\u003cbr\u003eTyaraju \u0026amp; Dutra are just two more examples of the Brazilian beauties included on the\u003cbr\u003ecompilation.\u003cbr\u003eThere is also a heavy dose of soul music on this volume. The Canadian-gospel sounds\u003cbr\u003eof Trevor Dandy, a modern-soul rarity by Wil Collins \u0026amp; Willpower (which has been on\u003cbr\u003eour list for years), and a soul- stepper masterpiece by Tommy McGee, are just a\u003cbr\u003ehandful of the highlights. Not stopping there, we are incredibly proud to present an\u003cbr\u003eexclusive rework of The Sylvers' 'Wish That I Could Talk To You' by the legendary\u003cbr\u003eKenny Dope. Kenny has excelled himself with this one, fattening up the drums while\u003cbr\u003ebringing more drama to the horns and strings. The song now feels more\u003cbr\u003econtemporary yet still stays true to its roots. Complete genius!\u003cbr\u003eElsewhere on the compilation, you'll find a cosmic reggae-not-reggae disco oddity by\u003cbr\u003eTapper Zukie, a South African jazz-funk-disco groover by Mac Mathunjwa, a soughtafter Brazilian compacto by Eduardo Araujo, and a Brit- funk \/ boogie treasure by\u003cbr\u003ePowerline.\u003cbr\u003eTraversing time, genre, and location, all the tracks on Volume 8 are favourites for their\u003cbr\u003eown unique reasons. Music will forever be a constant source of comfort, able to affect\u003cbr\u003eyou deeply in the most meaningful ways. It's the gift that keeps giving, and there is so\u003cbr\u003emuch more to learn, discover, and share, both old and new\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracks: As Ganhadeiras de Itapua - Mare mansa \/ Ubunto - O Vento Part.
