MIMS is excited to share the online premiere of Afro Bruk Band’s “Spanish And Brazilian Love”, a brilliant fusion of boogie, broken beat, Afro Brazilian jazz and Spanish flamenco.
“Spanish And Brazilian Love” is taken from Afro Bruk Band’s self-titled debut EP, due for release on Rui Fradinho’s Eclectic Beats Music on February 12th.
Born out of the favelas and samba schools of São Paulo, the Afro Bruk Band Project is a collaboration of singers, poets, musicians, friends and family. Their sound is inspired by bossa nova, Afrobeat, Brazilian / Cuban Yoruba culture and the broken beat sound from the UK.
The project touches on many geographical locations. Most of the recordings were done in São Paulo with a few finishing touches in Johannesburg and final production by Ruben Estevez in Switzerland and co-production by Rui Fradinho in London.
According to Ruben, “Spanish and Brazilian Love’ has a superb connection with Joan Barros on guitar which makes me feel the flamenco in me very intensely! This track (and title) is definitely a gift from the universe!”
