Oyobi is a musical project that explores the boundary between traditional folkloric rhythms and machine-based analog electronica with their debut EP Translations released July 26th 2019 through UK label Imagenes Records. Translations is not your ordinary global-latin-centric influenced production. It is deeper than that, its a music that speaks to the timeless spirit.
Translations combines elements of house, jazz, Latin, and broken beat with deep primordial undertones. They produce a raw and distinct integration of influences which seamlessly blends spiritual concepts with a dance floor sensibility, creating a unique sound that unites the groups musical and metaphysical interests. It is an ode to those that came before them, and who shape their paths in the present and into the future.

We pay homage with this album to our cultural and musical influences of Latin American and Caribbean sources. They have been a source of constant inspiration and musical development. We encourage anyone interested in discovering this beauty and depth of this music to explore the folkloric musics of these areas.
