N'Fa Jones, Billy Hoyle and friends — as the collective Cool Out Sun — have revealed the first single from their upcoming EP today, a track called Lament Not (Lamento De Exu).
The EP is a rework of the original 1966 Os Afro-Sambas record by guitarist Baden Powell and composer Vinicius de Moraes, which House Of Beige's Hoyle reworked as instrumentals recently. Jones then decided to lay down some vocals over the tracks, bringing new life to the classic Afro Brazilian album.
The video for the track is as simple as the song's optimistic message, featuring Jones donning a cape as he walks a back alley, covered in confetti.
Stay tuned for more Cool Out Sun music this year, though you can download the full Os Afro Sambas reworks for free from Bandcamp here. N’fa also has a string of shows coming up, head to theGuide to check them out.
