Dave ‘Mr Bongo’ Buttle began digging in Venezuela 30 years ago; filling up suitcases with amazing latin records to bring back to Europe. He has continued ever since – in warehouses in the US, to dusty back street shops in South America, houses and garages in Africa, and lesser known spots in Europe and Asia. This led to several successful record shops in central London, plus one in the heart of Shibuya, Tokyo. Now the shops are gone, but the label lives on, releasing & reissuing the finest funky music from around the world; their current slate includes the greatest records from Brasilian soul and funk great Tim Maia, including the reissue of his rare debut 7”, ‘What You Want To Bet / These Are The Songs,’ which will be available at the event.
