AMÉMÉ – Conga Mongo (MIDH Premiere)

The ever evolving artist’s “Power” EP is the first release on his newly relaunched One Tribe Records.

Emerging West African artist AMÉMÉ continues to have a standout year in 2022 with his fifth superb original release. “Power” comes hot on the heels of his recent single “Pliva”, his collaboration with Jamie Jones, and once again breathes new life into his signature Afro House sound.

Hubert Amémé Sodogandji aka AMÉMÉ splits his time between Brooklyn and Berlin, and draws on his cultural heritage and world travels as the inspiration for his work by incorporating rich eclectic grooves, tribal percussion and spiritual vocals. He has landed on labels like Crosstown Rebels, Armada, Cercle Records, and Nic Fanciulli’s Saved Records, and has found support from influential names such as Black Coffee and Diplo. After a breakout year in 2021, this year he has continued to establish himself as a key player on the world stage by hosting a panel and playing various shows at Ibiza’s acclaimed International Music Summit, as well as at world-renowned festivals such as Burning Man, BPM Festival, Coachella and many others.

First up on this new package is the title track ”Power” featuring Mario Reyes. The track delivers fizzing synth stabs, a hard hitting beat that makes you want to shake your every limb, and enthralling vocals by Reyes. “Never Forget” with Kosmo Kint is another full flavour house track with African drum patterns and rich synth designs. It is peppered with toms and shakers and Kosmo Kint’s spoken words over the undulating beat evoke real depth. Last of all is ”Conga Mongo” a track that gets the hairs standing on end thanks to its scintillating vocals and drums. The bold synths add real scale and make for a most majestic groove.

This new EP is another life-enriching offering from AMÉMÉ that cements his position right at the forefront of the exciting Afro House revolution.
