THE SWEET VANDALS are a raw & heavy funk spanish quintet. Their singer, Mayka Edjo –an impressive & authentic soul sister- is one of the biggest revelations of the contemporary international funk scene. With her we find 4 marvellous funk musicians: Carlo Coupé (the band's conductor; hammond organ), Jose Angel Herranz (guitar), Santi Martin (bass) & Javi Skunk (drums). Here are THE SWEET VANDALS' 2 first new & powerful themes: “I got you, man!” & “Wake up!”

 

 

"An excellent bit of deep funk from the Spanish scene -- part of the ever-growing empire of work handled by producer Carlo Coupe! "I Got You Man" starts out with a wickedly stepping bassline that's nice and lean -- followed by snapping drums and topped by a female vocal that crackles with classic energy of work from the Sharon Jones camp! "Wake Up" features more great drums -- really romping and stomping in the intro, then giving way to a wah-wah-ed groove that again features more great vocals! Who the heck's that singer anyway?" .
