Press Release & Copy Da Lata’s long awaited new album ‘Fabiola’ was released in October 2013 on Agogo Records. Having re-ignited after a 10 year hiatus, the Brazilian influenced group’s third album has gained critical praise, they have re-established their reputation for blowing audiences away and just won the UK Lukas Award for ‘Best Brazilian Act’. A 7 piece band, Da Lata is led by Chris Franck & DJ Patrick Forge with Brazilian songstress Jandira Silva on vocals. They’re currently in the studio recording new tracks for a new album scheduled for release in November 2014 coinciding with a London Jazz Festival performance on November 15. Fabiola, the groups’s first album in ten years, features a host of international talent including Mayra Andrade (Cape Verde), Miguel Atwood Ferguson (USA) Rich Medina (USA) Marcelo Janeci (Brazil) Luisa Maita (Brazil), Jason Yarde (UK), Finn Peters (UK) and Diabel Cissokho (Senegal) who have all helped craft a record with a raw and live approach fusing Afro-Brazilian flavours and a dance-floor sensibility. Over the course of their 20 year career, Da Lata have worked alongside, remixed or collaborated with the likes of Femi Kuti, Sly and Robbie, Ernest Ranglin, Baaba Maal and Bebel Gilberto. They’ve played some of the biggest stages around the world including Roskilde, Coachella, Glastonbury, North Sea Jazz, Womad and Central Park Summer Stage. New Album ‘Fabiola’ ‘Fabiola’ started taking shape in 2010 after Patrick Forge returned to London from living in Japan. He met up with Chris Franck and they took the first tentative steps towards making a new record. Drawing together a

worldwide family of collaborators both old and new, they embarked upon a new era of Da Lata. The big question is, can their album be defined as solely 'world music?' Ultimately, it's the melting pot of London that really lies at the heart of 'Fabiola', a city where cultures and tastes continually collide. 'Fabiola' is not bound by any set of rules, for all its authenticity in the musicianship and grooves, the tunes themselves seek out new territory beyond glib categorisation. Characterised by Da Lata's new “organic edge” and dispensing with programming and electronic production gimmicks, 'Fabiola's’ emphasis is definitely on the “real” in every sense.
