Mais um Discos

Mais Um Discos is a London-based independent record label founded in 2010. They specialize in releasing contemporary Brazilian music and have worked with *Elza Soares*, *Dona Onete*, *Lucas Santtana*, *Metá Metá*, *Bixiga 70*, *Orquestra Imperial* and *Rodrigo Amarante* among others.

The label has received coverage in newspapers such as the Guardian, New York Times, Los Angeles Times and Le Monde. They have also gained support from various BBC radio DJs including Gilles Peterson, Cerys Matthews and Late Junction's Max Reinhardt who said that Mais Um Discos has "changed the whole perception of what Brazilian music is in the UK".

Pulsing electro-Fra Fra and DIY afro-gospel combine on God Created Everything, the debut album by Ghanaian singer Linda Ayupuka on Mais Um. Reminiscent of recent releases by Otim Alpha (Nyege Nyege) and Ata Kak, God Created Everything captures the rawness and immediacy of early-career recordings from the likes of Oumou Sangaré and Rokia Traoré, and heralds a new West African vocal talent – Linda Ayupuka. Produced by Francis Ayamga, (King Ayisoba, This Is FraFra Power!), at his locally renowned Top Link Studio in Bongo, Northern Ghana, God Created Everything features eight highly charged exchanges of polyrhythmic dancefloor beats where Linda and Francis channel traditional Gurenɛ-language, Frafra ceremonial music with rapid fire tempos and hypnotic drum loops, referencing an international palette of dance styles from Malian DJ-led Balani Show street sound, electro-acholi to modern dancehall / RnB.
