5/28/2013
180 gram double LP version with mp3 download. Recorded over the span of four years in London and Venezuela, Cuban rumba, Venezuelan tambor and
tonada
, Ghanaian highlife, Ethiopian blues and calypso have been soaked and infused with psychedelia and spiritual jazz.
Family Atlantica
release their eponymous debut album through Soundway Records. At the heart of Family Atlantica are three people from three different continents: London-born
Jack Yglesias
, producer, multi-instrumentalist and a veteran of
The Heliocentrics
, his wife
Luzmira Zerpa
, traditional Venezuelan musician, poet and singer with a magical voice acclaimed by
Manu Chao
and half Nigerian-half Ghanaian percussionist
Kwame "Natural Power" Crentsil
. Recorded while living in an abandoned vicarage in East London, the record contains three different generations of Luzmira's family as well as a cast of musicians from the wider Family Atlantic family. One of the guests on the album, legendary Ethiopian-jazz maestro
Mulatu Astatke
, adds a classic touch on piano to "Escape to the Palenque," soloing in his unmistakable flowing Ethiopian 6/8 style. Also featured on the record are Senegalese
Nuru Kane
and Afro-Cuban group
Yoruba Andabo
. Much of the record was recorded by the Heliocentrics'
Malcolm Catto
in their East London studio. In 2008, Luzmira traveled to the Sahara Desert in the south of Algeria to participate in the Fi-sahara Festival. While there, she performed with Manu Chao, who introduced her to the audience as the most beautiful voice to arrive to the desert.
