HIGHLIGHTS Third volume of the 'A Go Go' series in which the Bilbao band revisits six classics of soul, vocal jazz, ska and mambo in a tribute and declaration of love for music that moves bodies and consciences, making them their own, feeling every note, turning listening into a party. DESCRIPTION With over 25 years' experience performing on stages across the globe with their unique take on ska, soul and black music in all its forms, Bilbao-based band AKATZ present their new EP, A Go Go 3. This new collection features six reinvented tracks with Spanish lyrics and fresh arrangements, bearing the unmistakable stamp of this cult band. The third instalment in the 'A Go Go' series is an invigorating exploration of soul, vocal jazz, ska and mambo classics, reimagined by O. Munilla and Akatz as a tribute brimming with reverence, creativity and their distinctive flair. 'Tengo una Vida' (cover of Nina Simone's 'Ain't Got No / I Got Life') is an ode to personal freedom and identity. The intensity of the original is transformed here into a lively, danceable song. 'Nada Va a Cambiarme' (cover of 'Nothing Can Stop Me' by Curtis Mayfield / Gene Chandler) is a declaration of intent that shines with warm arrangements and soulful spirit. Optimism to a Jamaican rhythm. 'Ascensión' (cover of Stevie Wonder's 'Higher Ground'). A classic spiritual groove from the 70s brought into the realm of ska with elegance and strength. Ascend, surpass yourself and renew yourself without losing the rhythm at any moment. "123456" (cover of the song by Jamaican duo Stranger & Ken) An early ska gem reinterpreted with mischief and flavour, in direct dialogue with tradition. "Skalofríos" (cover of "Chills and Fever" by Johnny Love and His Orchestra) Seduction, tension and rhythmic release. One of the most intense surprises on the EP. 'Baila Este Mambo' (cover of 'Mama Loves Mambo' by Hoffman, Manning, Reichner) A festive finale to an EP that invites you to move. From New York to Bilbao with a stop in Havana. A Go Go 3 is more than just a compilation of covers: it is a celebration, a tribute and a declaration of love for music that moves bodies and minds. Brixton Records, September 2025
