Fight out the cold weather with a couple of hot Vampisoul events this month! Our Favourite Club in Barcelona join the Sensacional Soul party season on the 14th and we’re having a record release party of our recent “Ne! The Soul Of Marta Kubišová” at Klub Marta, Berlin on the 12th. It’s also a celebration of Marta’s birthday, we wonder who the club is named after… For the latest Marta news, check her official site or this fansite.











Our latest releases have had some nice press recently:




GÓZALO! Vol 3




“A third volume of enjoyably louche and slinky Peruvian grooves from the late 1960s. Strutting Nu Yorican boogaloo translated into Lima’s local accents, with strident brass, twangy guitars, extrovert percussion and a readiness to fling together available styles in order to make the tropical mix still more infectious.” THE WIRE (UK)




“No party can be complete without a helping of the Latin boogaloo and there’s plenty for the booty to be found on this rockin’ and exotic third volume of Peruvian Latin soul. Grab yer maracas and let’s go!” SHINDIG (UK)




LA NUEVA BANDA DE SANTISTEBAN: SABOR A FRESA




“Influenced by bossa nova and especially the female vocal led piano bossa of Sergio Mendes, Santisteban (a Spanish dead ringer for Robin Gibb) appreciated music that was easy on the ear and had a catchy groove. He could cook up some tasty Latin rhythms and even heavier jazz grooves, enlisting the support of arguably Spain's finest reed player Pedro Iturralde (and pioneer of flamenco-jazz along with a then very young Paco de Lucia). His participation on some of the tracks is worth the admission price of the CD alone.“ UK VIBE




“Sabor a Fresa is a party mix of cocktail jazz, bossanova and Herb Alpert-like brass. In short, easy listening meets exotica, ideal for an spaghetti western and burlesque party.” OOR (Netherlands)
