Sofrito Island SeriesThe Haiti Direct

Description

Hypnotic Carnival rhythms, DIY electro and Compas experiments from Haiti… TIP!!Claudette & Ti Pierre’s 1979 version of the folk song ‘Zanmi Camarade’ jumps straight out of leftfield. Haunting vocals are accompanied by a heavy drum machine and arpeggiated synth backing for a Kraftwerk-in-Port-au-Prince vibe. Stockholm’s Tropical Treats crew give the track the subtle edit treatment, bringing out the bass and rounding off the sound.
