Luke Una collects “É Soul Cultura” on new Mr Bongo compilation

“Afro-spiritual jazz, cosmic Brazilian celestial grooves, machine street soul, dark horses, lost B-sides, £1 bargain-bin bombs…”

Luke Una is releasing a new compilation, titled Luke Una Presents É Soul Cultura, via Mr Bongo this May.

Across its 14 tracks, he collects both new and archival tracks from around the globe, under the umbrella of what Una terms “É Soul Cultura.”

The compilation spans “Afro-spiritual jazz, cosmic Brazilian celestial grooves, machine street soul, dark horses, lost B-sides, £1 bargain-bin bombs, hidden gems, late night Italo dubbing, deep velvet N.Y.C garage” and beyond.

Luke Una Presents É Soul Cultura follows Mr Bongo’s release of The Brkn Record’s The Architecture of Oppression Part 1.
