Description
Da Lata's long - awaited fourth album, Birds, takes you on a genre - defying adventure through London's Afro - Brazilian soul music. It's Christian Franck's most cohesive work yet. He's refined his skills and broadened his art, offering a vivid snapshot of the capital's musical melting pot. By bringing together collaborators from diverse musical backgrounds in soul, jazz, gospel, and African and Brazilian forms, Birds shatters the old - fashioned concept of World music. This album features tracks inspired by Chris' musical quests, elegant horn and woodwind arrangements from Belo Horizonte, Brazil, and lyrics in multiple languages, firmly rooting it in London. Birds is filled with warm, organic grooves, sophisticated funk, and vibrant instrumental colors. From the swagger of the opener Mentality to the emotional depth of the closing title track, it's full of soulful surprises and captivating rhythms. The sound is both personal and far - reaching, pulling you into Da Lata's London tropicalia and then out into the universe. Birds is about embracing new possibilities, conversation, survival, hope, family, resistance, awareness, unity, and love.
