THE BOTTLE / EL TRAGO 7″ VINYL
Brand new Latin vinyl bomb from Sydney trio OYOBI featuring dancefloor-ready interpretations of the GIL SCOTT-HERON classic The Bottle. On the A-side, right-on politico-poet Gil Scott-Heron’s streetwise tune gets a a SPANISH-language workout featuring Colombian-born vocalist KAIMÁN JIMÉNEZ (from the ARIA Nominated band Watussi and el Gran Mono Picó Sound System). On the B-side, completely different Latin rhythms with timbale roles, a punchy bass motif and NuYorican-style piano underscore Oyobi’s second workout which rides a clubbier backbeat and features the original English lyrics delivered by sublime singer and longtime collaborator KAREN LEE ANDREWS. Vinyl 45 comes in sturdy white card sleeve & protective PVC wallet with bonus stickers. Stay tuned for the upcoming Zepherin Saint remix. LISTEN/BUY VINYL HERE and check the video below of Oyobi performing the single at The Caterpillar Club in Sydney with Karen Lee Andrews.
