Brian Jackson dives into the world of Alfonso Lovo

Legendary musician Brian Jackson, known for his pioneering work in neo-soul and modern hip hop, has lent his extraordinary talents to retouch two tracks from Alfonso Lovo's remarkable album "Terremoto Richter 6:25 Managua.”

As one-half of the influential duo Gil Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson, Brian began his career at an early age, having recorded nine albums by his 27th birthday. He is widely celebrated as a musical innovator, with New Yorker Magazine recently hailing him as “a musical pioneer” in a 2022 article.

Alfonso Noel Lovo, moved by the devastating earthquake that struck Managua on December 23, 1972, recorded his first album in New Orleans the following year. "Terremoto Richter 6:25 Managua" stands as a testament to resilience and artistic fusion, featuring a stunning blend of psychedelic rock, mazurka, jazz, Louisiana blues, and African folk.

It's another winner from Mushroom Pillow - the same label that you the Joe Bataan Andres remix, the JD Twitch tweak of Cumbia Moderna De Soldedad and the Phenominal Handclap Band / Jose Parla mix of Alfredo Linares. 

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Mushroom Pillow enlist Jacques Renault for another double header of Latin reworkings. Obviously the Genesis in question here isn't the long serving UK rock band, but the Colombian folk-rock band popular in 1970s. Meanwhile Sangre Joven's harmonica-driven powerhouse gets nicely tailored for modern dancefloors under Renault's talented hand. Mega 7"!
