Saludos! Wanna welcome everyone to the new website, IFE-MUSIC.com and to our new home in Santurce Puerto Rico, Taller ILÉ ÌFÉ. We’re gonna be posting updates here on the regular, keeping everyone up to speed on new music, videos, song releases, live shows, colabos, skrimp jokes, vinyl records, and the general day to day biz coming out of the ÌFÉ camp. And it is a bit of a camp. Camp stove. No beds. Cuban banquitos for chairs. We sleeping on the floor!! It’s wild. Waking up next to the congas, batas, samplers… It’s super stripped down, and very very refreshing. Lots of folks coming in and out, drumming and recording from sun up to sun down. Powerful. It feels like home, and the start of something new and beautiful. Lock us in the bookmarks bar. We gonna keep this thing in motion. – Otura Mun
