Fab Samperi - Power Bossa (2011) 320

Power Bossa is the introduction to Fab Samperi's definition of a boombastic jazz style. Fearlessly and creatively picking up inspiration from the golden decades of classic rhythm & blues, latin, hip-hop and soul Sicily's most prolific producer releases his first full album. Fab Samperi released his first solo tunes on Record Kicks and Afro Art. Using the The Samp Brothers as his alter ego the Alcoholic Drinks 12 inch vinyl still enjoys something like a cult status among the more eclectic DJs around the world. This was a fresh sound transferring the best of Acid Jazz into the new decade while keeping a true soul spirit alive. Think of Dream Warriors and Gang Starr with Young-Holt Unlimited as the backing band. And we do not disclose well-kept secrets in revealing that Fab Samperi is the mastermind behind The Captain's highly productive output of vinyl singles. Now we have Power Bossa and what a powerful statement it really is: Peace, love, unity and having bossa! We had invited The Captain for a Put On Your Dancing Boots mix on Paris DJs, and he'll be back soon with a new mix to present this album!
