Malong is from Panama and is part of the Asymetrics: soundcloud.com/the-asymetrics
The focus of this mix is Funk, Soul & R&B infused tunes recorded in Panama in the mid 60s-70s.
Some are local compositions, sometimes with a hint of Caribbean or Latin flavor and some are straight up covers or adaptations from artists like James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Cymande, Gene Chandler, Nicola Bari & Mighty Sparrow.
Recorded live at "El Cangrejo Radio", a new spot in Panama City which serves as a bar/club/radio station and is ran by my partner Kamarita and a few other good friends!
It's a very simple selection, as I was keen on enjoying the tunes and listening.
I threw in a couple of amazing represses but many of the tunes are OG and hard to find, and often were found in seriously dusty crates so apologies for the crackles LOL ! I'm just glad I managed to find these gems here, including plenty that are fabulous but still under the radar.
