Sofrito with Osunlade
By Kit Macdonald

Organisers Jazztronica Fest promise that this distinctly tasty looking Sofrito event will be "a borderless musical journey … an open-air party where Latin rhythms merge with electronic music in a unique afternoon celebration on the spectacular terrace of Barcelona's Poble Español".
Their guest of honour is the St Louis-born Osunlade, who Resident Advisor called "the most spiritual man in deep house" many years ago, a title he has only consolidated in the time since. A priest of the Yoruba religion of Ifá, Osunlade's DJ sets and original productions often incorporate traditional African rhythms, chants, and instrumentation, making for an exquisitely soulful, almost ceremonial atmosphere rarely found in electronic music. Support sets from Mo' Horizons, Hector Guerra and Afrolatin Jam.
