Cultura Impura

Cultura Impura is the second album from the half Brazilian, half British, London based purveyors of Afro-meets-Brazilian funk, Saravah Soul. This vibrant record sees the band channeling '60s Brazil via Twenty-First Century East London. It's been two years since their eponymous debut came out but Saravah Soul have not rested; the need to soak up more and more influences, gathering obscure African and Brazilian instruments on the way, has kept them busy. Cultura Impura is built on digging: hunting through old West African recordings from the '60s and '70s, sifting through Brazilian folklore and delving into Afro-Brazilian religious music, along with a deep love for '60s funk and Afro-beat.
