Nervous celebrate the 20th anniversary of Afro-Peruvian electronic group Novalima

Nervous celebrate the 20th anniversary of Afro-Peruvian electronic group Novalima with a fresh remix package of stand-out single ‘Beto Kele’, with new interpretations from Timo Maas and Francesco Mami.

PRE-ORDER TIMO MAAS & FRANCESCO MAMI'S REMIXES OF 'BETO KELE' HERE

Undoubtedly one of Peru’s most prominent electronic acts, critically acclaimed group Novalima’s emergence onto the global landscape twenty years ago via their debut self-titled album was just the start, going on to earn a Latin Grammy nomination while appearing at the likes of Roskilde, WOMAD and Montreal Jazz Festival. With their sound rooted in a melting pot of cultures dating back to the 1500s as the soul and rhythm of Africa melded with the melodies and instrumentation of the Andes, their 2015 album ‘Planetario’, the home of renowned production ‘Beto Kele’, showcased a decade-plus of evolution as an act, forming a close connection to neighbouring Colombia across the project. Bringing a new life to the production in 2023, NYC’s Nervous Records invite two new artists to remix the album favourite, with two-time GRAMMY nominee Timo Maas and Italian DJ/producer Francesco Mami delivering interpretations for 2023.

Timo Maas’ take builds on the original’s iconic vocals and rolling drums with delicately worked synths and subtle rhythm changes, while Francesco Mami’s remix pulls the track apart and sprinkles elements back within a funk- licked, warping and twisting ride through electronic spheres.

Timo Maas and Francesco Mami’s remixes of Novalima ‘Beto Kele’ drop via Nervous on 14th April 2023.
