Ale Hop - Mapambazuko (2025)
"Mapambazuko" has been praised for its inventive fusion of Ale Hop's psychedelic Latin rhythms and Titi Bakorta's lively soukous-inspired guitar lines. The album features six original tracks and three remixes, delivering a vibrant musical tapestry that is both chaotic and harmonious. Highlights include the jubilant "Bonne Année" with its eclectic electronic horns and industrial beats, the upbeat "Una Cumbia en Kinshasa," and the hallucinatory "Así Baila el Sintetizador." While some remixes may disrupt the duo's balance, the album is lauded for its innovation and the deft synergy between the artists, continuing a tradition of African and Latin musical crossovers.
