Bon Bagay Là! Hugo Mendez

Compas, Soukous and Guaguanco sounds to warm your speakers…

Sofrito HQ is a hive of activity at the moment – we’ve got several exciting 12″ and album releases planned for later in the year and are looking forward to an exciting 2012.  We thought we’d kick everything off with a little selection of tasty sounds to warm up your speakers in a Tropical style – a mixture of heavy big band Compas, Soukous and bits and bobs from all over the place.  Plans are afoot for a warehouse bash in London early April and a session in Paris in March – we hope to see you there but in the meantime enjoy the mix!
