MAKE MINE A MADERA WITH A TWIST
Continuing the occasional series where we ask musicians to make us a mix tape of what is currently floating their musical boat, this week Sao Paolo based Afrobeat outfit BIXIGA 70 do the honours. In the words of compiler/musician Mauricio Fleury:
"I put two Brazilian tracks that were written by Pedro Sorongo, plus a Cumbia that influenced us a lot in the album, an Angolan Semba and our track 'Mil Vidas' from the last album in the end, so it's a little about Afro-Latin-Brazilian influences and a track that mixes all that”
