Ep. 411 - Reposado
from SONGMESS · host SONGMESS
On today’s very special episode of Songmess we’re still in Seattle, this time talking to singer, MC, and photographer JP, of the band Reposado (aka Tequila Funk). Bringing joyful noise to the Pacific Northwest, the explosive ensemble channels soul, salsa, boogaloo and the kitchen sink into a charismatic and freewheeling dance party wherever they go. Our conversation touches on the formation of Reposado’s big band lineup, diasporic influences ranging from African funk to vallenato, East vs West Coast culture shocks, precarious living situations, and music as a life saving spiritual practice. This is an expansive conversation with JP, giving us a detailed account of the path that led him to Seattle, to music and to Reposado. The tunes are soulful as hell, so crack open a bottle of wine and just vibe. Salud! Playlist: Reposado, Fela Kuti, Charles Wright, Tito Puente, and Alejo Durán.
