| Description: | "El Alimento" (übersetzt: der Nährstoff) ist das monumentale zweite Album von Cimafunk, dem
kubanischen Latin-Funk-Star, der nach seinem Debütalbum mit James Brown verglichen wurde!
Die klanglich dynamische Sammlung vermischt meisterhaft afro-kubanische Klänge und
Rhythmen mit globalem Funk, Hip-Hop und Soul - das Ergebnis ist eine progressive, mitreiÃ?ende
Hommage an die Kraft der schwarzen Musik, Grenzen zu überwinden und sich über die Grenzen
der Kulturen hinweg zu befruchten. Das im letzten Jahr geschriebene und aufgenommene Album
ist ein Alimento für die Seele, eine Motivation, die Pandemie zu überstehen, denn Cimafunk
verbrachte unzählige Stunden mit dem Studium Jahrzehnte musikalischer Einflüsse zu studieren,
um zu verstehen, wer er musikalisch und kulturell ist, und wohin ihn dieses Album führen sollte.
Wie der innovative Funk-Urvater George Clinton (Parliament-Funkadelic), der neben Cimafunk auf
dem Eröffnungstrack "Funk Aspirin" singt, sagt: "Cimafunk bringt es zurück und und bleibt dabei
im Jetzt. Das ist es, was wir tun, wir erfinden den Funk immer wieder neu, um ihn frisch zu halten." - El Alimento (translation: the nutrient) is the monumental second album from Cimafunk, the Cuban medical-student-turned-Latin-funk-star who crash-landed onto the music scene with his debut album Terapia in 2017 and an electric live show that been compared to that of James Brown. The sonically dynamic collection masterfully blends Afro-Cuban sounds and rhythms with global funk, hip hop and soul-resulting in a progressive, head-bopping celebration of Black music's power to eclipse borders and cross-pollinate across cultures. Written and recorded over the last year, the album served as an alimento for the soul, a motivation to persevere through the pandemic, as Cimafunk spent countless hours studying decades of musical influences to help understand who he is musically and culturally, and thus, where he wanted this album to take him.Issued on yellow vinyl in a sealed single sleeve with a pictured inner sleeve and an insert with liner notes and a download code card.
On Cimafunk's homepage the release date for the vinyl is the same as for the CD: Oct 8, 2021. But the vinyl then could only be preordered and it was shipped only in the second half of April 2022.
