The Daptone Super Soul Revue LIVE at the Apollo

Daptone Super Soul Revue – Live At The Apollo

YO!!!!!! This is what a soul revue is supposed to sound like.

Daptone Records has consistently released amazing music. This release is no different but a special one indeed. A true show, Live at the famous Apollo Theater in Harlem, NY over three SOLD OUT nights December 4 - 6, 2014. 
Blinky Griptite is the MC for the evening and the music is amazing. If you have ever been to a Daptone artist show then you know what we mean. Yet, having all of them on one release, HOLD ON cause this one is special. The stylings consist of Sharon Jones and Charles Bradley – plus more by Budos Band, Antibalas, Menahan Street Band, Como Mamas, Sugarman 3, Saun & Starr, and Naomi Shelton & The Gospel Queens – then everybody comes together to perform a version of "Family Affair" at the end!

Definitely grab this one.

Orquesta Akokan - 16 Rayos

Orquesta Akokan - 16 Rayos 

Powerful vibes of Latin Jazz. Orquesta Akokan is a contemporary group but for this album recorded in Havana’s legendary Egrem Studios. Bridging that studio’s history of descarga into a contemporary flow is captured on 16 Rayos. An effortless mixture of wonderful jazzy scoundscapes on saxophone and trump accompanied by lush percussion, bass and piano. Little hints of vocals here and there but mainly an instrumental offering. A nice addition to Daptone catalogue.
