Mapambazuko, a collaboration between Alejandra Cárdenas and Titi Bakorta, fuses vibrant Latin rhythms with jubilant soukous-inspired guitar. The album features six original collaborations and three remixes, showcasing Bakorta's improvisational melodies and Cárdenas' chaotic experimentation. Tracks like "Bonne Année" and "Una Cumbia en Kinshasa" reflect a delightful mix of energy reminiscent of factory sounds and joyous celebrations. This collaboration embodies an adventurous spirit and challenges musical boundaries, merging color and complexity into a cohesive auditory experience.
The combination is potent and deliciously evocative. On the ultra jubilant "Bonne Année," Cárdenas' detuned electronic horns and semi-industrial thump are reminiscent of a factory assembly line gone ecstatically rogue.
Bakorta solos, his playing as delicate, free, and wild as a bombardment of small exotic birds... Cárdenas supplies crunching drums, odd noises, psychedelic effects, and a general air of chaos.
