This is maybe a little more ‘live’ sounding that the kind of electronica that we’d usually feature here, but it’s a great track with a wonderful groove that just needed sharing…
Qwalia is a London-based psychedelic-jazz quartet, led by drummer Yusuf Ahmed, and emerged from a two-day improvisation session. Featuring a great collection of musicians who’ve worked with Frank Ocean, Sampha, Jordan Rakei, Nubiyan Twist, David Byrne, Joy Crookes, Cat Stevens, it’s oozing quality!
So on Sound & Reason, Yusuf is joined by Tal Janes on guitars and vocals, Ben Reed on bass and pianist Joseph Costi. From the live jam, Yusef edited down the track, adding vocals and a horn section to really lift it…
It’s soulful, funky, jazzy, experimental, enjoy…
