TCHA SOUL out April 15 th 2009
Format 7 inch / Finetunes digital
SETENTA is a parisian Latin Funk combo of seven musicians. The idea of the band was to create an original bridge between latin musical vocabulary and their soulful funk culture.
After the success of "Funky tumbao" released in 2008, they came back on studio, recording a huge funky soul "cha cha cha", a tribute to the old scene while marcha on congas, hard timbales ,meet tremendous funky drums and vintage clavinet grooves.
Ritmo Boboland is a latin soul caribbean fusion, a real funky plena !
It's a dancefloor vision of the Paris social situation , where BOBO's ( bohemian /bourgeoisie ) change the rules of the modern inner city culture. This track is an indirect reference to Marvin Gaye vision , where the upper class now prefer a clean "politicaly correct" city to a real artistic emergence.
This friend french band will make you invent a nu funky latin dance ! Enjoy.
For the forthcoming album " Funky Tumbao" , FEB 2010
"SWEET DREAMS/FUNKY TUMBAO" - 2008
"A Latin soul band with a french funky touch!
An incredible full lenght debut of this 7 musicians band from Paris... Sabor latino con toque funky!
Side A. They take on the 80's Eurythmics "sweet dreams" with a rootsy latin arrangements and some contemporary funk touches.
Side B. "Funky Tumbao" is a composition which has a lots of echoes of the 70's latin soul track with groovy bassline, spooky rhodes, hard percussions... An instant classic melody".
"Le chanteur d'origine martiniquaise Osman a regroupé une équipe de fines lames issues des milieux funk et salsa de la capitale" MAGAZINE VIBRATIONS
En 2006, l'idée est de conduire des musiciens résolument Jazz-Funk vers le répertoire Portoricain. La sauce prend rapidement. Les thèmes de deux maestros, Tite Curet Alonso et Cheo Feliciano, sont repris lors de plusieurs prestations live par ce combo de 7 musiciens, emprunts de fortes vibrations nées de Paris à New-york, en passant par San Juan de Puerto Rico, La Havane, Fort de France, Londres etc.
