about

English below

'Cortando Bajito’ es el nuevo banger en clave afro-latin y suena como Stevie Wonder tocando una tema de las sesiones de Innervisions in el oeste de África, con los productores de DFA manejando los botones. Los angelinos Jungle Fire enfatizan el lado psicodélico y latino de la canción, metiendo unas guitarras gritonas, percusión y un poco de eco. La canción, extraída del nuevo recopilatorio Soniquete: The Sensational Sound Of Gecko Turner es un llenapistas en toda regla, compuesta por Gecko, el baterista Akin Elegbede Onasanya y el teclista Chavi Ontoria, estos últimos miembros de la aclamada banda madrileña OGUN Afrobeat.

«Empecé a trabajar en este groove con el batera, Akin Onasanya, y el co-productor, Borja Torres. Cuando ya teníamos el ritmo y los bajos, Juan Carlos Ontoria añadió lo suyo en los teclados, usando un Hammond B3 con el que nos habíamos encontrado en el estudio y metiendo varias capas de clavinet, así como un Minimoog (no hay guitarras en esta canción). Entonces me acordé de una expresión que usan algunos de mis amigos cubanos: ‘Vienen cortando bajito...’, que en España diríamos más o menos como ‘vienen pegando fuerte’, o ‘vienen apretando’, y ya está.»
- Gecko Turner

////////////////////////////////////////////////////

'Cortando Bajito’ is Gecko Turner’s new afro-latin banger and sounds like Stevie Wonder performing an Innervisions B-side in West Africa, with DFA records sewn into the tapestry. The 7-inch vinyl comes with a remix by LA’s Jungle Fire, who push the psychedelic Latin side of the tune with added soaring guitars and some echo chamber trickery. The song, taken from Turner's new compilation Soniquete: The Sensational Sound Of Gecko Turner is a certified floor filler, co-written and featuring percussion by Akin Elegbede Onasanya and keys from Chavi Ontoria, both of highly rated Nigerian Afrobeat outfit OGUN Afrobeat from Madrid.

“I started working on this groove with drummer Akin Onasanya and co-producer Borja Torres. When we had the drums and the bassline right, keyboard player Juan Carlos Ontoria did his thing. He used a Hammond B3 that happened to be in the studio and put several layers of clavinet and Minimoog too (there's no guitar at all). Then I thought of this phrase from some Cuban friends of mine, ‘Vienen cortando bajito...’, and that was it. It means something like ‘they're coming strong’.”
