Listen to Orquesta Akokán's new mambo joint "4 de Octubre"

From the moment you hear the opening invocation to Chango, you know Orquesta Akokán means serious business on "4 de Octubre."

Orquesta Akokán's latest single, "4 de Octubre",  is a lucumi fever dream of sublime mambo. Tata's introduction for Chango segues into blistering horns played with fervor that transcends the earthly realm, seducing the listener as the melody gives way to the hypnotic rhythm of the Bata. As the groove builds Tata's poem prayer seems to beckon the horns and chorus to re-enter, allowing the music to crest and swoon, creating new sonic vistas in its wake. Get it right here once you have a listen below.
