QUITAPENAS returns to Names You Can Trust for a special edition double-sided 7-inch single lifted from the band’s upcoming & independently released sophomore album. This unique apertivo is another entry into the evolution of the sun soaked #mastropical sound that QUITAPENAS has been blasting on stages throughout the vibrant Southern California scene, a deeper dive into the musical roots and connections of classic Afro-Caribbean combos stretching from Panama all the way to Cabo Verde. In quintessential NYCT fashion, this limited edition, sky blue vinyl press is packaged in a beautiful, picture cover design featuring another amazing creation from Riverside-based artist Deladeso.

Raw Funaná rhythms from the Cape Verdean island of Santiago; syncopated electric guitars, raucous synthesizers, & relentless percussion. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 19, 2018
Why do you love this album? Well, it is the quality of ALL the Analog Africa releases , the astonishing presentation- artwork, AWESOME booklets, the mastering, the music first of all and the feeling you connect with it and the artists involved. Due to not earning enough I changed from vinyl to CDs, but I am glad for the high quality downloads of the vinyl only releases that you are able to burn to disc. Together with a chosen few others AA is a greater than great label. Period. Markus Bader
