#majandfriends #vinylmix
Cami Layé Okún is a selector/DJ from Cuba inspired by the merged sounds of Africa and Latin America. Cami’s vinyl sets go beyond this as she collects music from around the world, searching stories through music with similar organic roots. Engaging audiences with Cuban disco. Afro-Caribbean rarities, and tropical Amazonian funky grooves. She has shared her collection with dance floors in Brazil, Mexico, Panama, Finland, Germany, France, Switzerland, the UK, Greece, Italy, Netherlands and Belgium. Currently based in Havana, she is so far the only local that produces and promotes events in 100% vinyl format during the last year Cami hosts her own monthly show “Insolar” on London NTS Radio where she curates sunny music from different parts of the world.
“For this mix, I have selected Afro-Cuban funky grooves released on the Areito label in the 1970s and 1980s. Most of these records never leave my bag. Thank you for listening, hope you enjoy.”

I was walking in old Havana... heard some funky, smooth afro jazz. I peek my head in the door, and seen two older gentlemen grooving. They welcomed me in. I was amazed at all the records he had.... he was like nah, lets go upstairs. Literally thousands of records. We listened together for hours!

I have friends like this, as we’ve all been into music since first hearing from a young age, for me, my Mum having the radio on all the time from the 60s onwards.

[@Andrepaulistano_]

I identified some songs, but two of them couldn't be, despite applying quintuple redundancy (AHA, Shazam, SoundHound, Google and Deezer's SongCatcher). Luckily the two missing ones were identifed by SpanishGrooves, to whom I thank for completing the set. Follows below Cami Layé Okún's set list with timestamps: 1) 0:11 "El 4-5-6" (Los Brito); 2) 2:53 "Del Copacabana al 34 (Remasterizado)" (Los Yoyi); 3) 8:29 "Cacao (Remasterizado)" (Grupo Algo Nuevo); 4) 13:08 "Tamba Iya" (Ricardo Eddy Martínez); 5) 16:30 "Y No Le Conviene (Remasterizado)" (Los Van Van); 6) 20:31 "Súper Son" (Juan Pablo Torres y Algo Nuevo); 7) 23:40 "El Pueblo Manda" (Grupo Candombe); 8) 28:31 "Taka Taka Ta" (Orquesta Cubana de Música Moderna); 9) 31:15 "Que Palo Es Ese" (Los Van Van); 10) 36:04 "Este Es Mi Sucu Sucu" (Grupo Achere); 11) 39:28 "Baila Guiro Son Wambari" (Orquesta Maravillas de Florida).

Gracias por la playlist,una pena el tema 7 que es cojonudo,pero tampoco yo lo localizo

[@Gerolanfalan]

@@sergiomadrid301 I'm also trying to find out the name of the song beginning at the 23:40 mark where the chorus goes, "Baila conmigo"

[@Robertuns18]

@@Gerolanfalan update us if you find it! Sick tune

[@spanish-grooves]

Track 7 @23:40 is Grupo Candombe - El Pueblo Manda. Track 10 @ 36:04 mark is Grupo Achere - Este Es Mi Sucu Sucu.

With that skill set she is truly able to understand beat matching. If you can’t mix with real records you not a true dj IMO. 😎
