setenta feat. orlando julius - ijo soul - hot casa - vinyl

New Copy

Genre: African

1. Ijo Soul (feat Orlando Julius)
2. Guapeta

After a sparkling debut on the Latin scene with their first album “Funky Tumbao“ (Hot Casa Records, 2010) Setenta performed live for two years with an impressive and exhilarating world tour. They invited Orlando Julius at Jazz Mix in Vienne, opened for Roy Ayers at the New Morning in Paris, played for the Erykah Badu’s aftershow in Amsterdam in July 2011 to name just a few!

From the live experience and the meeting between Orlando and Setenta’s members followed a desire to record together. They decided to rearrange his famous classic “Ijo Soul” taken from his “Super Afro Soul” album recorded in 1966 for Philips. A song which even blew King James Brown himself during his trip to Nigeria in 1970 and influenced him for the composition of his “I Feel Good“.

This track perfectly sums up the rich energy and raw power bubbling in the Orlando Julius compositions. Effortlessly blending together Afro Soul and Yoruba swing!
