In the cross-genre spirit of the series, for Volume 8 they have selected music from the worlds of soul, boogie, disco-reggae, jazz-funk, and Latin, with a hefty chunk of beloved Brazilian music. Pulling these compilations together is always a highlight of the year, and eight volumes in, this is one of their strongest to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"638\" data-end=\"1327\"\u003eThe album's journey begins with a heartfelt epic by \u003cstrong data-start=\"690\" data-end=\"718\"\u003eAs Ganhadeiras de Itapua\u003c\/strong\u003e, from the Bahian town of Itapua. It's an area of Brazil that holds a special place in David “Mr Bongo” Buttle's heart, and where he first met their dear friend, Luciano Rodrigues Dos Santos, to whose memory this compilation is dedicated. Staying in Northern Brazil, next up is a contemporary dancefloor gem by \u003cstrong data-start=\"1029\" data-end=\"1039\"\u003eUbunto\u003c\/strong\u003e, a DJ and producer from Salvador, which also features As Ganhadeiras de Itapua. The raw, dusty, punchy sounds of zabumba drummer \u003cstrong data-start=\"1169\" data-end=\"1184\"\u003eCastanheiro\u003c\/strong\u003e and the furious guitar-heavy dancer by \u003cstrong data-start=\"1224\" data-end=\"1243\"\u003eTyaraju \u0026amp; Dutra\u003c\/strong\u003e are just two more examples of the Brazilian beauties included on the compilation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1329\" data-end=\"1985\"\u003eThere is also a heavy dose of soul music on this volume. The Canadian-gospel sounds of \u003cstrong data-start=\"1416\" data-end=\"1432\"\u003eTrevor Dandy\u003c\/strong\u003e, a modern-soul rarity by \u003cstrong data-start=\"1458\" data-end=\"1485\"\u003eWil Collins \u0026amp; Willpower\u003c\/strong\u003e (which has been on their list for years), and a soul-stepper masterpiece by \u003cstrong data-start=\"1562\" data-end=\"1577\"\u003eTommy McGee\u003c\/strong\u003e are just a handful of the highlights. Not stopping there, they are incredibly proud to present an exclusive rework of \u003cstrong data-start=\"1696\" data-end=\"1711\"\u003eThe Sylvers\u003c\/strong\u003e’ \u003cem data-start=\"1713\" data-end=\"1744\"\u003eWish That I Could Talk To You\u003c\/em\u003e by the legendary \u003cstrong data-start=\"1762\" data-end=\"1776\"\u003eKenny Dope\u003c\/strong\u003e. Kenny has excelled himself with this one, fattening up the drums while bringing more drama to the horns and strings. The song now feels more contemporary yet still stays true to its roots. Complete genius.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1987\" data-end=\"2264\"\u003eElsewhere on the compilation, you'll find a cosmic reggae-not-reggae disco oddity by \u003cstrong data-start=\"2072\" data-end=\"2088\"\u003eTapper Zukie\u003c\/strong\u003e, a South African jazz-funk-disco groover by \u003cstrong data-start=\"2133\" data-end=\"2150\"\u003eMac Mathunjwa\u003c\/strong\u003e, a sought-after Brazilian compacto by \u003cstrong data-start=\"2189\" data-end=\"2207\"\u003eEduardo Araujo\u003c\/strong\u003e, and a Brit-funk and boogie treasure by \u003cstrong data-start=\"2248\" data-end=\"2261\"\u003ePowerline\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2266\" data-end=\"2592\"\u003eTraversing time, genre, and location, all the tracks on Volume 8 are favourites for their own unique reasons. Music will forever be a constant source of comfort, able to affect you deeply in the most meaningful ways. It's the gift that keeps giving, and there is so much more to learn, discover, and share, both old and new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2594\" data-end=\"3003\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eVolume 8 of the Mr Bongo Record Club series, their in-house curated compilations sharing favourite tracks, hard-fought finds, and unsung gems.
