Record/Vinyl + Digital Album
The Mantecas (formerly known as “Manteca”) is an eight piece,
London-based, Latin Jazz, Soul and Boogaloo band well known for
creating a party mood at festivals and gigs everywhere they go, from
Glastonbury, Ealing Festival and Tropical Pressure Festival to The 606
Club and The Jazz Café in London. They have a particular ability for
bridging the culture gap with any audience getting all crowds up hitting
the dance floor in a jive. The Mantecas will blow your mind with a
mesmerising mix of salsa, Cumbia, funk, Latin jazz and boogaloo.
For this new release album, the band is exploring the legacy of some of
the Jazz giants through a Latin lens, reworking timeless pieces by
Coltrane, Shorter, Davis, Hubbard and Perkins, giving them the infusion
of latin rhythms while remaining true to the Jazz language.

Congo Funk! - Sound Madness From The Shores Of The Mighty Congo River (Kinshasa/Brazzaville 1969-1982) (Analog Africa No. 38)
by Analog Africa

supported by 6 fans who also own “The Mantecas - Black Nile”

The obsessive searching (in all the best ways) and crate digging pay off once again for the Analog Africa crew! This compilation is a veritable gold mine of crazy good funky riffs with horns aplenty. As with most AA offerings, the music appears to originate from various sources and time periods but the underlying quality of all the tracks is undeniable. Drop the needle and get ready to be enthralled!! blixa00

Very cool dance-music with strong baselines and subtle west African guitars & above all Ernesto’s soulful vocal. No wonder that he became a superstar. This music is SO pulsating and full of life. ufo_dk
