Night Visions is a collection of stories which dance alive over an infectious blend of Afro-Latin rhythms and contemporary dancefloor beats. Told by a variety of characters, drawn from the vibrant imagination of Chico Mann, these stories take place in an endless night, where we move through dimly lit clubs, jungle moonlight, pitch black desert plains, and the internal shadows of personal darkness. Captain Planet’s production, informed by his regular crowd-moving DJ sets, keeps the album sounding effortlessly danceable & contemporary. Meanwhile, Chico’s vocals have an instant classic appeal, hinting at old Cuban rumba and vintage Afrobeat LP’s. The two are aided by guest vocals from regular collaborators Kendra Morris & Brit Manor, as well as some talented friends who contributed additional horns, guitar & marimba.Night Visions highlights the creative symbiosis of two of the biggest names in contemporary alternative Latin sounds. The result is a truly unique album that speaks as much to listeners who don’t understand Spanish as it does to old abuelos. The feelings and rhythms that flow through these songs are universal, appealing to hearts and hips all around the world. -Soundcloud

When Hugh Tracey (1903-1977) made 35,000 field recordings across Sub-Saharan Africa between the 1920s & 1970s, his intention was to reveal the beauty and complexity of the music to a world that saw little value in it. Today, almost 90 years later, Tracey’s bid to preserve the music of Africa for future generations’ lives on. Beating Heart has connected the archive at the International Library of African Music (ILAM) with contemporary producers, making fresh sounds for a modern audience. Building on Tracey’s vision, the income generated will be used to assist people in the areas where the music was originally recorded. This is the first instalment in the series. -Soundcloud
Jhon William Castaño Montoya is a Colombian violinist and composer who grew up in Pereira, a Colombian city 1700 meters high in the central part of the Andes, surrounded by mountains and coffee plantations.
His song titles are taken from the languages spoken by the indigenous peoples of Colombia, as the Muisca and Embera. So Antumià is the spirit that lives in the deep forest, and the spirit of the wild animals that are reincarnations of human souls; Jai are the shamans who learn of the teachers everything about health, naturalness, the rules of life; Quincha means hummingbird in Chibcha language and symbolizes youth and renewal, “the only creature capable of stopping while flying at a frightening speed, can thus fluctuate, advancing and retreating, going up and down.”
