More information: http://jazzophetdak.radio6.nl The international musicians of Amsterdam-based Bernie’s Lounge borrow their raw grooves from music heard in streets, ghettos and barrios all over the world. The group, fronted by Spanish singer Mapi Quintana Bellon, is a huge draw at Dutch summer festivals. Italian star trumpet player Roy Paci and Afro-beat keyboardist Dele Sosimi, who played with Fela and Femi Kuti, are guests on the recent CD, “Red Mango.” “A band that cannot be categorised and which has a great festive spirit. Balkan bounce, Latin grooves with a fresh jazz vibe.” (de Volkskrant).
