Kelly Teh and Cris Tanzi: Exotically Inviting Latin Jazz

Posted on 27 June 2020

Malaysian born multi-instrumentalist Kelly Teh and London-based Jazz singer Cris Tanzi teamed up to create the most exotically inviting single which you’ll hit play on this year.

The chemistry perceptibly spilt from “Amano” as the Indie power couple poured their respective talents, soul and culture into the incandescent soundscape. The Latin Jazz single boasts accessible elements of Hip Hop along with infusions of Funk and Soul to create a dynamic hit which may put you off monocultural music for life.

My unilingual mind may not have been able to extrapolate the exact meaning from the lyrics, but the purifying, warming tones were efficacious all the same.

You can check out the sublimely sun-kissed soundscape for yourselves by heading over to SoundCloud now.

David Seymour – Cuban Bars: Indulgently Intricate Latin Jazz

Posted on 22 October 2018

Whilst Urban Latin Jazz isn’t commonly described as haunting, the quivering notes of the violin contained within David Seymour’s latest single “Cuban Bars” allowed the urban cool vibes to take a totally new tonality.

Multi-layered beats may be commonplace, yet not many musicians are able to compose arrangements which hit you with melancholy and an alluringly arrestingly melody at the same time.

With Johanna Martin’s indulgently sultry vocals added to the experimental arrangement, Cuban Bars set the scene of a smoky Havana bar. In short, Cuban Bars is aural escapism. The fluidly contemporary masterpiece carries the perfect amount of ambience to allow you to sink into the sound completely.

So, for those who appreciate an evocatively resounding yet downtempo sound, you can check out David Seymour’s latest single Cuban Bars for yourselves by heading over to YouTube now.
