Description
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 SOYUZ and Swedish maestro Sven Wunder. The result, as you’d expect, is
completely breathtaking.
Reflecting 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 afield 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 Fernandes and 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 dancefloor. Disco tracks such as ‘Come Inside’ by
The Shades of Love and The Duncans’ ‘Too Damn Hot’ have been firmly 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, find, and share.
