Mr Bongo Record Club Vol. Seven (Vinyl 2LP, Purple)

Ooh la la, it's always a pure pleasure when Mr Bongo offer up their annual Record Club collection, and Vol. Seven has only gone and blown us away all over again. Featuring a healthy double dose of "Brazilian, Latin, soul, disco, gospel, cosmic, dancehall and downtempo", this edition is said to focus largely on vintage cuts for the dancefloor, and on tasty treats from Brazil. And, as a special surprise, there's a brand new collaboration between the iconic Asha Puthli, Swedish super-composer Sven Wunder, and Belarusian dreamboats SOYUZ! - Flying Out

It's a pleasure, a labour of love and a yearly highlight to present a new volume of the Mr Bongo Record Club series. In this collection, we have curated new finds alongside old, treasured tracks that hold a special place in our hearts, selecting music inspiring us from the Brazilian, Latin, soul, disco, gospel, cosmic, dancehall and downtempo genres. We have chosen a diverse array of artists, including Os Panteras from Brazil, stomping underground disco by Claude Jay, the Danish soul sounds of Gitte & Inger and the gospel excellence of Truth & Devotion, to name a few.
