Comprising DJs Hugo Mendez and Frankie Francis alongside The Might Crime Minister, Sofrito has become one of the leading party collectives in the field of Afro, Caribbean and Latin music over the last three years. From their legendary Tropical Warehouse parties in East London to the clubs and bars of Brooklyn, from beach parties in Greece to festivals and clubs across Europe including WOMAD and the Big Chill, Sofrito has brought it�s own unique and accessible mix of styles to the world�s dancefloors. Previous guests include Manu Dibango, the Poets of Rhythm, the Souljazz Orchestra, Quantic, Nickodemus and Nappy G (Turntables on the Hudson), Tropical Treats Soundsystem and Natural Self. With regular releases during the last two years, the Sofrito Specials label champions the Tropical Discotheque sound � mixing up raw Afro flavours with Disco and Latin rhythms. It�s less �world music�, more about some of the best dance music ever made. Their debut compilation for Strut mixes up amazing old and new sounds from cumbia and Congolese guitar grooves to highlife, calypso and descarga for a unique album - a deep selection but an immediate party soundtrack for the casual listener.
