DJ Tárico is fast becoming the artist to count on for super collaborations across Africa. His recent collaboration with Mr. Eazi on the club banger “Patek” has put him on the map as a force to be reckoned with and his newest record “Abre O Canal” continues the momentum. The Amapiano-infused record sees DJ Tárico teaming up with fellow Lusophone star Yuri Da Cunha from Angola who provides the frenzied vocal performance.
The title means “open the doors/canal” in English and it’s an instant crowd-pleaser with its mantra-like hook, hypnotic textures and infectious log drum grooves. Yuri Da Cunha’s exotic vocals glide across the soundscape smoothly, delivering the perfect African mood.
And as always, the ‘Yaba Buluku’ star man makes the language barrier seem like a myth as he again proves he’s a crafty communicator: solely relying on the rhythms of his percussive instruments to communicate to the bodies of his listeners.
