Straight out of Rio and locked into London’s groove, ALEH links with Juan Laya & Jorge Montiel for Musa , a double-edged cut that’s as sun-soaked as it is late-night ready.
The original mix struts in with West Coast disco-funk swagger, drenched in Brazilian swing. Slick synth bass, sharp percussion, and ALEH’s velvet vocal make it feel like Marcos Valle jamming with P-Funk under Copacabana skies. Pure feel-good heat.
Flip to the alternative version and the vibe plunges deeper: Afro-Brazilian drums, electronica twists, and favela funk attitude, wrapped in smoky jazz hues. It’s hypnotic, percussive, and tailor-made for those 3am dancefloor moments.
With Musa, ALEH, Laya & Montiel don’t just bridge continents – they blur genres into something fresh, global, and seriously addictive. A summer essential with after-hours staying power.
Out Now on Imagenes Recordings.
