Discography

All Bongolian albums (and singles) are available to buy on Blow Up Records’ website. You can also find the Bongolian’s music on Spotify

Harlem Hipshake

Harlem Hipshake finds The Bongolian deeply immersed in his lifelong love for the music of the sixties New York’s Latin Soul scene, particularly the music of Ray Barretto, Mongo Santamaria and Joe Bataan. Available now in the following formats: Clear 180g vinyl (limited 500), black 180g vinyl, CD and digital from the Blow Up (greedbag) shop

Moog Maximus

The fifth Bongolian LP continues the musical journey where Bongos For Beatniks left off, taking us through the fractures of time like fellow traveller H. G. Wells. Nasser has now landed in ancient Rome, or is it on a set from Westworld? All we know is that our hero is armed with a bank of vintage synthesizers with a legion of heavy grooves in this a wildly eclectic fusion of Funk, Soul, B-Boy Breaks, Jazz and Sci-Fi Boogaloo.

Radio support for Moog Maximus inlcuded BBC 6 Music DJs Gideon Coe, Cerys Matthews, Nemone & Chris Hawkins on (featuring twice on ‘Recommends Day’) and from Gary Crowley on BBC London. A stand out track for the Summer single ‘Googa Mama‘ is already storming the Blow Up dancefloor – think 60s Soul meets Sci-Fi Boogaloo!
