Bonobo - Black Sands (2010)

Black Sands represents an album done right. 

If I were able to do so, I would frame a vinyl copy of Bonobo's Black Sands and hang it on the wall. The only problem with that is not being able to play the album unless I had another copy. 



At present, I have neither a vinyl copy of the album or frame to speak of. At least I made my point about how I feel about the album.

I love Kong, Eyesdown and any other track featuring Andreya Triana.

I was a bit surprised, but still thrilled, to hear Bonobo's Black Sands was getting remix treatment at the time.

My logic was that if the magic of the original Black Sands repeats on the Remixed album, the remix album could also make its way onto future playlists of my former radio show.

I remember going nuts and straight to Twittter when Andy Williams played Kong on a late 2012 broadcast of The Goods.

I wanted to see Bonobo & Andreya Triana live at Le National when they were last in Montreal but it didn’t happen.  I just got re-acquainted with this earlier work and waited patiently until my next opportunity.



In addition to Bonobo's most recent album called The North Borders, his Late Night Tales compilation was released late in November 2013.

Bonobo performed at Metropolis for the 2014 Festival International de Jazz de Montréal.
