Bibi Tanga & the Selenites

Add Date: June 26

Artist: Bibi Tanga & the Selenites

Album: 40° of Sunshine

Label: NatGeo Music

Genre: International, funk, soul, hip hop

Comments: Chemical funkness, that's what Bibi Tanga & the Selenites are cooking up on their latest whirlwind experiment, 40° of Sunshine. It's obvious that Tanga's international upbringing (Africa to Moscow, Paris and New York) has influenced the styles that he brings to his music, combining traditional West African grooves and European lyricism with the rhythms of jazz, hip hop, break beat, funk, soul and Afro-funk. Tanga's global fusion of sounds is smooth and pretty darn effortless, bringing a sound that places urban R&B in a worldly setting. Tracks 1, 2, 5 and 10 are choice.
