It's been two years since their eponymous debut came out, picking up diverse radio support from the likes of The Unabombers (XFM), Craig Charles (BBC 6Music) and Gilles Peterson (BBC Radio 1), but Saravah Soul have not rested; the need to soak up more and more influences, gathering obscure African and Brazilian instruments on the way, has kept them busy. 'Cultura Impura' is built on digging: hunting through old West African recordings from the '60s and '70s, sifting through Brazilian folklore and delving into Afro-Brazilian religious music, along with a deep love for '60s funk and Afro-beat. And lots of gigging: constantly touring their intensely vibrant live show, from festival to festival and across continents. Two shows – one in Sao Paulo, one in Leeds - especially illustrate the diverse appeal of their carnival-style showdowns, and stand out in the mind of the band's Brazilian singer, guitarist and all round shape-throwing frontman Otto Nascarella "Great track, cool recording and very dynamic! Will play for sure" - Nick Luscombe (Flomotion) "Yea this is great !!!! Outdoor festivals & sunshine vibes all da way" - DJ Simbad "I think this band just gets better and better. Will support in clubs/radio" - Huw Ellis (Knowfoowl) "Love this! Great to have Saravah back - definitely on the playlist for Vibe Bar and Big Chill Bar this weekend" – DJ Gilla (First Word) "Killer Afrobeat here from Saravah Soul. Can't wait to hear the rest of the album" - Erik Schneider (Giant Step – USA) "Great Brazilian Afrobeat dancer" - Global SoulJah
