Tropical Man vinyl

Menahan Street Band's collaboration with Roge on 'Tropical Man' delivers a delightful blend of broken beat and nu jazz, drawing from soft island sounds with a smooth, melodic flow. The title track, 'Tropical Man', carries a warm, retro 70s vibe, with funky undertones, great harmony and bright horns that accentuate the laid-back groove. The keys complement the rhythm beautifully, creating a sunny, carefree atmosphere. On the flip side, 'Mis Filos' leans into a more relaxed, sing-along vibe, driven by its smooth, soothing chorus. The slower pace and breezy instrumentation evoke a sense of tranquility, perfect for unwinding. Both tracks display the band's knack for blending classic soul and funk elements with modern jazz sensibilities, making this release a charming, mellow listen that balances melodic intricacy with warmth.
