Review: Djingo Typical Band - Vini Ouais (with Art Of Tones Remix) (Heavenly Sweetness)

Out today!

I love how label's like Heavenly Sweetness can swing from he brilliant Ludivine Issambourg (check her album, 'Above The Laws' - see review HERE) to this equally brilliant 12" from the Djingo Typical Band 'Vini Ouais'.

Originally released in as a 1983 7" single, 'Vini Ouais' is one of the many Latin, Afro-Cuban jazzdance diggers holy grails even it it's by the French Guianan François 'Djingo' Bonnaire who settled in the Toulouse region

who, along with local musicians, shared with them "the vibrant sounds of his homeland: Kaseko, Biguine, Zouk… powerful, festive rhythms deeply rooted in history and dance"

Heavely  Sweetness' GUTS included it on his 'Straight From The Decks, Vol 3' compilation a couple of years ago (Vol. 4 came out last year) but now it has a whole side of 12" to itself and a remix on the other by the always busy Art Of Tones (aka Ludovic Llorca but last seen on YATM on 'Best Of 2024 - see review HERE).

Bound to sell-out fast so get your pre-orders in now.
