Review: Joi 'N' Juno's recent debut on Sumosui's Canopy imprint offered a neat snapshot of the label's well-defined musical ethos, blending contemporary "sub-Saharan synth swagger" with nods to dancefloor-friendly African musical culture of the 1970s and '80s. The Barcelona-based producer continues in a similar vein on this superb debut album, blending acoustic and electronic instrumentation with uniformly impressive results. For proof, check the boogie squelch-meets-horn-heavy Afro-disco joy of 'Samemala', the Afrobeat/nu-disco fusion of 'Endialo', the heady Afro-dub-disco of 'Moky Danza', the William Onyeabor-goes-nu-disco flex of 'Oy Mane' and the future peak-time anthem that is 'Don't Give Up'. As debut albums go, it's a doozy!
