Wonderful news from one of our favourite outfits, Catalan high-energy duo ZA!<\/a>. They have joined forces with Andalusian Flamenco singer Perrate<\/a> for a collaborative album. Entitled Jolifanto<\/em>, it is a meeting of minds between two powerful musical forces from distante corners of Spain, who embrace experimentalism and radicalism. Rooted in the Dadaist spirit, Jolifanto<\/em> takes its name from Hugo Ball’s seminal phonetic poem Karawane<\/em>, which was first recited at the Cabaret Voltaire in 1916.<\/p>\n

Jolifanto<\/em> arrives on March 22nd through Lovemonk<\/a> and they have unleashed a new single called ‘La Milonga’. Epitomizing the bold fusion they have in store for us, ‘La Milonga’ begins with Perrate’s raw and stripped-back vocals and guitar before seamlessly transitioning into a vocoder-laden exploration, aptly described as “an Iberian Lemon Jelly for the enlightened”. Perrate comments:<\/p>\n

\u201cI don’t care what the most radical traditionalist minds may think of this or any other work I do. This is my time and I intend to live it according to my way of feeling and living flamenco – my ancestors had a lot to do with the birth of this culture, and each of them created according to their feelings and their time. And I do the same.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Take a listen to ‘La Milonga’ below.<\/p>\n
