Double vinyl LP pressing. 2018 collection. Through 18 diverse tracks, this compilation reveals how immigration from the Cape Verde Islands to Europe and the United States gave us an alternate history of the electronic music that dominated hearts and minds across the world in the late 1990s. But the story doesn't start in a major Western cultural hub, rather in the small cluster of islands 400 miles off the Senegalese coast, and offers an unparalleled insight into the long-term cultural splendor catalyzed by migration. Largely overlooked outside the Lusophone realm, Cape Verde's Astro-Atlantic gumbo of instrumentation and rhythm offers a timely lesson of migration's power to produce cultural innovations ahead of it's time. This unknown, ultra-progressive sound could not have been perfected without the induction of Cape Verde's artistic human capital into the West. NHÚ de Ped´Bia - NÓS Criola, Pedrinho - Nanda, Tulipa Negra - Corpo Limpo, Manuel Gomes - Jelivrà Bo Situaçon, Val Xalino - Dança Dança T'manche, Jovino Dos Santos - Bo Ta Cool, Abel Lima - Farmacia, Elisio Gomes ; Joachim Varela - Chuma Lopes, Narciso Tchiss Lopes - É BÔ Problema, Americo Brito - Babylon 79, José Casimiro - Djozinho Cabral, Nho Balta - Posse Bronck, Kola - Lameirao, Cabo Verde Show - Nova Coladeira, Tam Tam 2000 - Melhor Futuro, Pedrinho - Chema, Dionisio Maio - Mie Fogo, Bana - Canta Cu Alma Magoada
