Music News - Latinaotearoa Announce New Album Release & December NZ Tour
21 November 2014 - 0 Comments
Auckland-based trio Latinaotearoa are set to release the anticipated follow up to their debut album Sonido de Latinaotearoa through Mucho Aroha Music. Conceptualised in Brazil and featuring another influential line up of guests, Latinaotearoa in Latinoamerica will be available through iTunes on December 4.
Guests
including hip hop artist Raiza Biza, Julien Dyne (Opensouls), Riki Gooch
(TrinityRoots) and percussionist extraordinaire Miguel Fuentes, contribute to
a timeless collection of tracks that tip their hat to traditional Latin and Brazilian music. The
album, born in Brazil, recorded at Red Bull Studios in Sao Paulo and Auckland
and mastered by Kelly Hibbert in Costa Rica, crosses paths, cultures and genres
– it is quintessentially Latinaotearoa.
The group's trip to Brazil this
year was more than just a tour. For Brazilian born Bobby Brazuka,
Venezualan Jennifer Zea and Isaac Aesili, who is of Guyanese heritage, it was
a pilgrimage. They decided upon the approach for a new album,
with Isaac and Bobby researching and composing new songs in the bustling
metropolis of Sao Paulo. The seeds of the album had been
sown.
Latinaotearoa in Latinoamerica comes from a spiritual re-awakening
and a passionate sense of pride. Fans will be taken into a welcoming fiesta
of bossa nova, samba, afro-samba, salsa and even flamenco inspired
rhythms. With this second album comes an improved sense of synchronicity
amongst the trio – realised by an understanding of where they're from and a
renewed focus for where they want to go. An essential addition for any
lover of Latin music.
An album release tour will coincide with the iTunes release on December 5. After the Auckland date, Latinaotearoa will head south before crossing the Tasman with events in Sydney and Melbourne. Latinaotearoa in Latinomerica will be released on vinyl in the new year.
