Awa band’s new release is a single track of Afro / Latin sounds, drawing influences from the original Afro Beat style and Latin Samba, tapping into Yoruba folkloric call and response
Green samba was originally written by Barbara Snow over 10 years ago, but was discovered recently while looking through her drafts of song ideasIt’s Inspired by the Horace Silver track ‘Cape Verdean Blues’, which she used to play in a tribute band called Sister Sadie
It’s an instantly catchy tune with a beautiful melodic structure in samba styleThe song has now been recorded live in Lagos in the style of afro beat, mixing high life with juju guitar chords, to give it an afro Latin vibe, with the addition of a Yoruba chorus
Barbara Snow has played in a mixture of genresShe has recorded with dance music producers Full Intention, pop band Style CouncilShe has also played with legendary afro beat drummer Tony Allen amongst many othersFellow Awa Band member Kayode Samuel has also worked with Full Intention and Tony Allen, along with Damon Albarn and Egypt 80 band (Fela Kuti)
