Rei Assa, also known as Señor Tavares, is a Cape Verdean rapper born in Dakar, Senegal on September 7th, 1985. He is based in Dorchester, Massachusetts and performs with lyrics in Cape Verdean Creole. Rei was a member of the Boston-based rap group BM (Bullet Movement) and released several mix-CDs with them. In 2008, he began releasing solo projects and collaborated with Ildo Depina to release his debut album "Sr. Tavares" in 2009.
During his time with BM, Rei Assa gained recognition within the Cape Verdean community for songs like "Li Na Boston", "Nha Talento", and "Batida". The group's third mix-CD "3 Stripes" featured the hit single "Mexi Bunda", which reached number one on Cape Verdean national radio station PraiaFM.
In 2009, Rei Assa joined forces with Ildo Depina to form the music label Lo Records. Together they released his debut album "Sr. Tavares" which showcased acclaimed singles such as "Bo e Boa", "Dorchester, Roxbury", "Mama", and "Nos Cultura, Nos Terra".

Acid Jazz is a British label that was established in 1987 by Eddie Piller and Gilles Peterson. Although Peterson left in 1989 to form Talkin' Loud, the label continued to thrive under the management of Dean Rudland. The name 'Acid Jazz' was a playful response to the popular 'acid house' movement of the late 80s. Despite its name, Acid Jazz produced records that were not necessarily jazz or acid music, but they quickly became synonymous with 90s style and sophistication. In fact, the term 'acid jazz' began being used to describe any record with a similar vibe. Today, Acid Jazz remains an influential force in the music industry.

New Acid Jazz signing Mama Terra is the brainchild of Glaswegian pianist and composer Marco Cafolla, who conceived The Summoned during lockdown. Playing piano and bass keys, he used hip hop and modern American Jazz drummer samples to create a rhythm section. The stems were sent to Orangefish Studio in Brooklyn, NYC where Derek Neivergelt (Terrance Blanchard) Evan Pazner (Lee Fields) added a live rhythm section, with guest trumpet solos from Jeremy Pelt. The Summoned is a conceptual journey through life and the universe – a new an invigorated take on spiritual jazz with a sprinkling of soul.
