Created in 2006, Setenta consists of seven musicians from Paris, whose use their musical upbringing taste, backgrounds and unstoppable eagerness to produce a unique mix of Latin, Soul and Boogaloo, with a touch of Caribbean influence. After a sparkling debut on the Latin scene with their first album “Funky Tumbao“ (Hot Casa Records/Fat Beats, 2010) they performed live for two years with an impressive and exhilarating world tour. They invited Orlando Julius at Jazz Mix in Vienne, opened for Roy Ayers at the New Morning in Paris, played for the Erykah Badu’s aftershow in Amsterdam in July 2011 to name just a few! From the successful live experience and the great human meeting between Orlando and Setenta’s members followed a desire to record together. They decided to rearrange his famous classic “Ijo Soul” taken from his “Super Afro Soul” album recorded in 1966 for Philips. A song which even blew King James Brown himself during his trip to Nigeria in 1970 and influenced him for the composition of his “I Feel Good“. This track perfectly sums up the rich energy and raw power bubbling in the Orlando Julius compositions. Effortlessly blending together Afro Soul and Yoruba swing. Here comes Ijo Soul 2012! The B-side “Guapeta” was all recorded on analog equipment at Mato Studio in Paris with rare vintage instruments. Influenced by the Nuyorican maestros from the seventies, the band also wants to create its own Futuristic Latin Soul sound. Led and composed collectively, the album straddles Latin, Soul, Hip-Hop, Funk, modern creative Jazz, and psychedelic Boogaloo, with a percussive and strong vocal section.
