              Recorded over 4 years in London and
              Venezuela, Cuban rumba, Venezuelan
              tambor and tonada, Ghanaian highlife,
              Ethiopian blues and calypso have been
              soaked and infused with psychedelia and
              spiritual jazz to come up with what
              Gilles Peterson described as 'a really
              great record'. The DJ and tastemaker
              included the band in his recent æHot
              For 2013 ShowÆ on BBC 6music,
              premiering the track Cumbacutiri.

              A diverse host of heavyweight musicians
              from both sides of the Atlantic are led
              by London born Jack Yglesias, producer,
              multi-instrumentalist and a veteran of
              The Heliocentrics, and his wife Luzmira
              Zerpa, traditional Venezuelan musician,
              poet and singer with a magical voice
              acclaimed by Manu Chao.

              Recorded while living in an abandoned
              vicarage in East London, the record
              contains three different generations of
              Luzmira's family as well as a cast of
              musicians from the wider Family
              Atlantic family.

              One of the guests on the album,
              legendary Ethiopian-jazz maestro Mulatu
              Astatke, adds a classic touch on piano
              to "Escape To The Palenque", soloing in
              his unmistakable flowing Ethiopian 6/8
              style. Also featured on the record are
              Senegalese Nuru Kane and Afro-Cuban
              group Yoruba Andabo. Much of the record
              was recorded by the Heliocentrics'
              Malcolm Catto at their East London
              studio.

              In 2008, Luzmira traveled to the Sahara
              Desert in the south of Algeria to
              participate in the Fi-sahara Festival.
              While there she performed with Manu
              Chao who introduced her to the audience
              as the most beautiful voice to arrive
              to the desert.

              Peterson
