When Mano asked Gebrüder Teichmann to do a remix for Joãozinho Morgado, the King of Drums (O Rei dos Tambores) the two brothers couldn´t get more excited:
Starting from a love for dirty fast Kuduro beats those two pale potatoes, who spent years in dark Berlin basement underground clubs have been infected by energetic Angolan rhythms.
During their stays and musical collaborations in Luanda, they soon found Semba, Kazukuta, Kilapanga, Rumba and Merengue and all that fantastic musicians and music of the 60´s and 70´s golden age of Angolan music.
Morgadinho was originally recorded at Gravisom studio in Lisbon, where Joãozinho Morgado orchestrated a groovy jam session with the Turma da Bênção project by Conjunto Angola 70 & Paulo Flores. Joãozinho was accompanied by Botto Trindade (Solo Guitar), Pirika Duia (Viola Ritmo), Mayo Bass (Viola Bass) and Galiano Neto
(Percussion), and coordinated by Armando Gobliss.
From there the Teichmann brothers took these recordings into their Berlin studio. With great respect, they are stripping down the original, dub fragments through their space echos and add some vibrant crispy analogue live electronics to it. Morgadinho is ready to heat up the dancefloors of this planet!
Kalimada on the flipside takes dancers and sequencers on a floating ride. It shakes your feet and takes your hand to guide you from the sunset into the morning sun. Smooth, deep, dynamic the tracks plays around a modulating melodic sequence, that is sometimes sneaking around the organic groove, hiding behind the beats, before it jumps directly into your ears. released June 21, 2024
