about
Basel-based twins Dersu and Diego Figueira have been spinning funk, house, disco and boogie across Europe since their teens and have converge together as Alma Negra. Coming from a musical family with strong Cape Verde roots, they soon embraced the Latin and African rhythms that are at the heart of the music they love. The Basel producers’ have gained support from the likes of Daphni, Ben UFO, Four Tet, Hunee and Antal and guest regularly at Gilles Petersons Worldwide FM.
Alma Negra’s distinct drive, rhythmic sensibilities and unique percussive sound has molded Zistwar fer per into a narrative with fantastical imagery. Lending her feminine vocals on the remix, Céline Huber jumps on the track and adds an ethereal feel to the piece. The mix is captivating, gentle, and intricately soothing – with live strings, horns, and piano complementing and completing the dance.
Governed by the island’s traditional instrument, the Ravanne, one might scratch their head as to the genre Babani Soundsystem is – but what you might find is a spiritual recognition of sound rather than an easy pigeonholing of music. Along with these interpretations of like-minded producers, you might further discover an inner calling and power with each sway of the music. Listen and let the rhythm speak for itself.
