About "Sambuê"
Trans-Atlantic danceable groove from the burning sun on both sides of the ocean.
Sambuê carries a warm pan-African message and takes us on a musical journey through Salvador de Bahía, with tributes to Afro-Brazilian icons such as Olodum, Ilê Aiyê, Filhos de Ghandy, and Carlinhos Brown. The journey is topped with Swahili swing and rooted in the Samburu people of the Rift Valley, the cradle of humanity.
“The African music's ebb and flow across the Atlantic, reshaping and transforming, is evident in Gil Felix’s music. The new album has both soul and Brazil's characteristic suinge!” - Åsa Veghed, music journalist and author of the book Brazilian Music.
Sambuê was recorded in Stockholm and Salvador de Bahía with a tri-continental band at the legendary Studio RW, with the master of Bahía sound, Nestor Madrid, at the helm. It is released by Mills Records in Rio de Janeiro with support from the Swedish Arts Council.
