2026 release op black vinyl ORQUESTA AKOKAN – America!
AMÉRICA! expands on the classic Mambo sounds that AKOKAN has become known for — blending Latin, soul, boogaloo and salsa – all while staying true to their Cuban roots. On their fourth studio record, the band introduces an all-star line-up of new singers including
Miriam Elhajli and Carolina Oliveros (of Combo Chimbita). Elhajli and Oliveros both tap into the raw energy of Celia and La Lupe, but turn the lens toward something more intimate: themes of loss, upheaval, and the weight of the immigrant experience.
