Hot off the heels of an active summer tour across the festival circuit, South London Samba present their debut EP 'Tempo!' Across 5 tracks, band leader Adam Ouissellat drives a tight, rhythmically focused sound, with influence from Brazil and across the African diaspora. 'We have been performing these tunes for a long time and it felt right to archive them when we came up to our 10 year anniversary (the band started in April 2013). We recorded them at Midi Music Company which is where we have rehearsed and ran classes since the beginning! These tunes have stood the test of time and are loved by audiences wherever we play.'Recorded in Deptford in single takes without overdubs, and expertly engineered by Ahmad Dayes (brother to Yussef) 'Tempo!' is a vignette of their live performances. It encapsulates the raw power of a drumming orchestra carefully disposed to drive a unique interpretation of samba rhythms. Adam says 'The idea was to capture the spirit of carnival whilst adding to the rhythmic culture of drumming ensembles. Each piece has melodies and motifs running throughout which makes it a listening experience as well as something anyone can groove to.' 'Tempo!' collects global inspiration from the Caribbean, Dutch Brass bands, and Latin America, and represents a desire to grow their community and to 'push the genre into new territory'. Having already supported the likes of the Black Eyes Peas, Disclosure, and performed at the O2 arena, and regulars at Notting Hill Carnival, SLS are cementing their prowess with a technical dexterity that is immediately profound.Tracklisting:A1.
