MBR422: Bonga - Mona Ki Ngi Xica (Everything Counts Remix)
We couldn’t get enough of the legendary Bonga’s 70’s classic, and just a few months after we
released Pablo Fierro’s remix, we invite Everything Counts to center stage to render their own
interpretation. And of course, the Swiss duo delivered. Swelling on body-binding rhythm and
groove that envelop Bonga’s soulful saudade-saturated lyrics, Toshka and Chris Leon bridge
Jose Adelino Barcelo de Carvelho’s ardent emotions then with the ongoing now, preserving its
timelessness, as their percussion-rich instrumentals, complemented with and augmented by
subtle electronic tweaks resonate Bonga’s rasp so precisely, the Angolan’s vocal timbre vibrates
shivers to our core. Tenderness aside, Everything Counts keeps the temperatures high with this
Afro-Latin infused dancefloor incendiary, wafting cadenced humming, hypnotic beats and
orbicular riffs to steer this 7:31 minute joyride to tropical euphoria.
