Alma Afrobeat Ensemble is an internationally touring Afrobeat band based in Barcelona. The band often collaborates with DJs and other producers for remixes of their songs, as is the case with "Siempre Presente", produced with Stéphane Laidet (Farmo), a French harmonica player and hip-hop producer living in Spain. He usually composes for sensorial theater and is very interested in placing the harmonica in unique contexts, such as flamenco music. On “Siempre Presente” a blistering harmonica solo meets the bombastic vocals of Roberto "Tauro" Farias, a Chilean MC with a long history in Barcelona.

This Bandcamp Friday's shopping list had been long enough before. But when I noticed M. Foujita, whose huge and versatile collection contains many many gems, bought a whole bunch of these compilations, I had to check what these French compilations are about. Well, they are about Frenchies playing world music and I liked every song I clicked on :-)
As the list was that full, I only bought this one, mais je veux bien retourner! Carsten Pieper
