AMÉRICA!
Orquesta Akokán
RELEASE DATE: 17 July 2026
LABEL : Daptone Records
FORMAT:
Indies exclusive transparent green vinyl

Recorded live to tape at Penrose Recorders by Gabriel Roth, 'AMÉRICA!' expands on the classic Mambo sounds that the band has become known for — blending Latin soul, boogaloo and salsa - all while staying true to their Cuban roots.
On their fourth studio record, the band introduces an all-star line-up of new singers including Mariam Elhajli and Carolina Oliveros (of Combo Chimbita). Elhajli and Oliveros both tap into the raw energy of Celia and La Lupe, but turn the lens toward something more intimate: themes of loss, upheaval, and the weight of the immigrant experience.
