Introducing Kiko Navarro’s brand new ’Afroterraneo’ label comes exotic, percussion-laden deep gem ‘Sea Goddess’. Dedicated to Yemaya, ocean deity of the Yoruba faith, ‘Sea Goddess’ was inspired by Kiko’s experience of visiting Cuba, where he lost himself in the chants, percussion, dancing and spiritual energy of the island. Characterised by spine-tingling vocals, sparse electronic touches and scintillating live congas by Yoruba Records / BBE artist Gabriele Poso, ‘Sea Goddess’ toys with time signatures, bridging gaps between continents with the universal language of rhythm. As well as the captivating original, Kiko supplies an even deeper dub version which allows the live percussion to take centre stage, plus a ‘beats’ mix which is sure to be a versatile DJ tool. About the label: Invigorated by the glowing reception for his 2017 album ‘Everything Happens For A Reason’ and motivated by the world tour that followed its release, Mallorcan DJ and producer Kiko Navarro takes yet another giant step on his creative path by founding new label ‘Afroterraneo’. Taking its name from a word Kiko invented to describe his 2003 remix of Joan Bibiloni’s ‘Joana Lluna’ ‘Afroterraneo’ combines the words ‘Africa’ and ‘Mediterraneo’. “It’s a fusion I really have inside of me” says Kiko. “The beats of the big continent infused with the Balearic vibes of my home. Also, seeing it from another angle, its AFRO-TERRA-NEO which could mean ‘new afro ground’.” Designed to be every bit as musically diverse and all-encompassing as Kiko Navarro’s DJ sets and productions, Afroterraneo heralds a new chapter of experimentation and creative freedom for an artist who continues to inspire and be inspired in equal measure.
