It's a pleasure, a labour of love and a yearly highlight to present a new
volume of the Mr Bongo Record Club series
In this collection, we have curated new fnds alongside old, treasured tracks that
hold a special place in our hearts, selecting music inspiring us from the Brazilian,
Latin, soul, disco, gospel, cosmic, dancehall and downtempo genres. We have
chosen a diverse array of artists, including Os Panteras from Brazil, stomping
underground disco by Claude Jay, the Danish soul sounds of Gitte & Inger and
the gospel excellence of Truth & Devotion, to name a few.
Most of the selections in this volume are older vintage productions, however,
there is one very special contemporary production, recorded exclusively for Mr
Bongo Record Club 7. For 'Spring Has Sprung', we linked three of our cherished
musical family together; the legendary cult artist Asha Puthli , the wonderous
band SOYUZand Swedish maestro Sven Wunder. The result, as you'd expect, is
completely breathtaking.
Refecting on Volume 7, it now feels like a record comprised of two themes.
Firstly, we have gone quite heavy on the Brazilian selections . This saw us
searching further afeld and digging into other areas of the endlessly rich
Brazilian musical tapestry. The refection of a more folk / Afro- Brazilian sound
than presented in previous volumes in the series, can be heard in the songs of As
Sublimes, Romeu Fernandesand Conjunto de Percussao Dora Pinto. The second
theme is a representation of the tracks that we have been playing in our club DJ
sets and are aimed more at the dancefoor. Disco tracks such as 'Come Inside' by
The Shades of Love and The Duncans' 'Too Damn Hot' have been frmly tested
favourites in recent years.
We hope these songs, by the sensational artists on display, inspire you as much
as they do us. Music is the gift that keeps giving and there is so much more to
learn, fnd, and share.
The seventh instalment of our compilation series dedicated to sharing our
latest musical discoveries and old favourites from the global stage.
Including a special track from SOYUZ, Asha Puthli and Sven Wonder recorded
