Breathtaking, full of life bass heavy tropical music from the Amazon - courtesy of amazing worldwide diggers Analog Africa! Introducing here a very little explored genre, Siria; a cross pollination between the music of the inhabitants of the Quilombos, (a Brazilian hinterland settlement founded by escaped slaves of African origins) and the Indigenous People of the Amazon Rainforest. Mestre Cupijo brings a refreshing "street party" twist to the sound over these infectious, pulsing set of tracks. Hand-picked from six Mestre Cupijo albums, recorded between 1975 - 1982.
