I was working from home on Monday and was locked on to NTS, as Bonobo was on 2pm - 4pm.
In one of those happy coincidences Four Tet and Floating Points were on before Bonobo and they played Jorge Ben and Toquinho's Carolina Bela.
It's a wonderful summery tune that instantly sent me back to the early 2000s. Why not the the late 60s? One, I'm not that old you cheeky bastard. And two, Carolina Bela forms the backbone of DJ Marky and XRS's breakout D'n'B roller LK.
Gotta say that I got schooled that day as I didn't realise it was more of a remix than a sampling. And sorry Stamina MC, I know you think we like it, I like it, you like it too but I first encountered the original instrumental on Fabio's Radio 1 show and prefer it without you. Sorry Mr Stamina.
Nostálgico!
