Grupo Pilon - Leite Quente Funaná De Cabo Verde

At home, in the islands of Cabo Verde, there was grog, or grogu, a strong sugarcane moonshine not dissimilar to Colombian aguardiente, copiously consumed at Funan� parties. In the diaspora, in Europe, there was leite quente (hot milk). With only five members, Grupo Pilon combined searing estilo Krioulu drumming and the hybrid ColaZouk style with blissful synth work and rugged guitar licks, creating a stripped-down, addictive sound that masterfully straddled two worlds, a seductive electro-Funan� carnival born from the first few sips of hot milk. This LP, drawing from the six most powerful songs from Pilon's three-album catalogue, is the serving of still fresh leite quente to spice the summer and maybe even fuel the next generation of musicians in the Krioulu corners of Europe.
