About this item

A Vega Records special edition 7” by Elements Of Life with sneak peaks of two new Elements Of Life tracks from the forthcoming 2026 album “Dreamer”.

Side A is a brilliant cover of the famed Brazilian band Black Banda Rio’s “Maria Fumaca”.

Side B an energetic Latin jazz infused cover of John Coltrane’s ultra class “Giant Steps” done up Rumba style tributing the great Tito Puente with special guest, the maestro Christian McBride on upright bass. Elements Of Life are on fiyaaah - and it’s just the beginning!

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Like overly competitive brothers, Louie wasn't gonna let Kenny get away with dropping a killer Latin 7" ("Que Se Sepa") without returning fire. So he enlisted Elements Of Life to cover the Brazilian classic "Maria Fumaca" as well as penning an Rumba-themed cover of John Coltraine. Let battle commence - rumble in the rumba anyone?! (sorry).
