Our Take

LAKUTA's "Brothers & Sisters" is a genre-bending journey that consistently surprises and delights. From the infectious Afrobeat rhythms to the soulful vocals, this album is a vibrant tapestry of sound that demands attention.

The opening track, "Bata Boy," sets the tone with its energetic percussion and funky bassline. It's impossible not to groove along to this infectious tune, which showcases the band's impeccable musicianship and tight arrangements.

Throughout the album, LAKUTA effortlessly blends elements of funk, reggae, and jazz, creating a unique and dynamic sound that is as captivating as it is danceable. Tracks like "Rice & Peace" and "So Sue Us" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly weave together different musical traditions, resulting in a refreshing and bold sonic palette.

Lead vocalist Cicely Taylor shines on tracks like "Pique" and "Mr. Serious," her soulful voice adding depth and emotion to the band's already powerful sound. The lyrics, which touch on themes of love, unity, and social justice, add an extra layer of meaning to an already rich musical tapestry.
