Review: Enchufada has been home to Buraka Som Sistema for the past decade, and its latest act to rise to prominence is Mina. Already tipped as one of Europe's emerging artists, this release was inspired by Mina's travels in Africa as well as her love of funky, dance hall and mamba. On "Boing", she draws on the talents of Nane, who lays down a flirtatious Spanish rap over rolling drums, a bouncy bass and air horns released in slow motion. The title track is in a similar vein, but this time the drums are more urgent, Bryte's vocals are insistent and breathy, and the lo-fi keyboard riffs make it even more catchy. "Ringtone Riddim", with its dramatic stabs and tinny beats, could be Enchufada's answer to US hip-hop's darker side, but overall, this is an infectious, celebratory release.
