Lechuga Zafiro鈥檚 mixtape

Verity Sharp presents a mind-bending mixtape from Uruguayan producer, sound designer, and self-styled 鈥渁mphibian鈥�, Lechuga Zafiro.

Verity Sharp presents a mind-bending mixtape from self-styled 鈥渁mphibian鈥� Lechuga Zafiro. The Uruguayan producer鈥檚 approach to production has been dubbed 鈥渃lub concr猫te鈥�, bringing cutting edge sound design to recordings collected through his travels - from the sound of metal, glass and water, to toads, sea lions and pigs. A close affinity with frogs provided the initial creative spark for Zafiro鈥檚 latest album, Desde los o鈥嬅�媎os de un sapo (From the Ears of a Toad), a free flowing combination of Afro-Latin folkloric rhythms, ambient field recordings, and fierce electronics. To celebrate the album鈥檚 release, Lechuga Zafiro offers a glimpse into his sonic universe with this Late Junction mixtape.

Elsewhere in the show, a newly-released lost recording of esteemed pianist Thelonious Monk playing live in Paris in 1966, surreal minimalism from French singer-songwriter Chicaloyoh, and a track from treasured Wassoulou singer Nahawa Doumbia.
