Song of the day – 100: Bonobo feat. Andreya Triana

Decrease Font Size Increase Font Size Text Size Print This Page

The above photograph is of Andreya Triana, the singer on this most excellent and soulful slice of what they used to call trip-hop but probably has some other crap name these days like ‘ethnic groove’ or something. I dunno. I just know that I’m sometimes partial to this groove.

Bonobo is the alias of British DJ Simon Green.

I got sent this single via digital download by the fellows at Ninja Tune, and as I value their taste I listened to it. Glad that I did. This is so beautiful, near unadorned except for a floor-throbbing bass line, and tinged with the most salacious of saxophones.

Andreya also has her own single out, the wonderfully-titled ‘A Town Called Obsolete’, which is equally as mesmerising in a most pleasing way (think ‘Unfinished Symphony’, Speech Debelle without the night shelter angst).
