Monologues #80: Alma Negra

Turned On

Swiss brothers Alma Negra have been at the forefront of blending global sounds with house and disco for a hot minute now, and bring their always-musical, globetrotting style to our series with a mix that's full of early summer sunshine—with plenty of exclusive unreleased gems to boot. You're welcome.

*How would you describe your sound?*

It’s funk, disco and house. Percussion is one of the most essential elements in our music! But I also would describe it as summery with the goal that people feel good and want to dance.

*What and who inspires you and influences your sound?*

We are inspired by so many music and artists. You can hear that in the diversity of our tracks. We are inspired by African music, jazz but also funk, disco and house classics.

*Can you tell us a little about this mix and what it means to you?*

The mix shows the different approaches of our productions we did so far. From live band sound and originals, to remixes and edits.
