Jimena Ángel - Aire (2020) [Hi-Res]

Somewhere deep in the mountains of the Magdalena province of Colombia, on the Caribbean coast, Jimena Angel built a makeshift studio with an aged laptop, a microphone, an electric guitar and the jungle for a recording booth. The slow pace and luxuriant natural surroundings renewed her creativity and inspired her new EP, Aire.

Showcasing the cultural hybridization of afro-latino rhythms, imbued with electronic sounds and soulful chords, this EP marks the start of the Colombian artist’s collaboration with French label, Elis Records. Jimena Angel's seasoned experience as a vocalist, guitarist, DJ and producer brings depth to this collection of songs celebrating the smaller things in life and the enchanting beauty of nature.

Recorded during the lockdown between Colombia, Lisboa, Quito, Paris, Berlin and Amsterdam, Jimena called on the talented Berlin-based saxophonist and producer, Ben Abarbanel-Wolff (Pat Thomas, Ebo Taylor, Guts), the French keys wizard and broken beat producer, Nikitch, the Lisbon-based Dutch musician, Collignon (ex Skip & Die) as well as the Ecuadorian producer, Joaquin Cornejo. This collaboration was orchestrated under the artistic direction and electronic touch of French producer, iZem.
