Helmed by Dave Watts, aka D.WattsRiot (Fun-da-mental), the debut King L. Man album, Headonix, is beat-laden shout out in response to the perpetual state of war we seem to find ourselves at. Outrage and disgust, love and hate, history and presence. Contributions come from four continents. Fresh on the scene is Senegalese vocalist Sidi I.B., who arrived on Canarian shores with two hundred other compatriots, cold, wet and hungry after seven days at sea with nothing but his future in his hands. Temporarily housed at the infamous migrant holding center in Las Raíces, Tenerife, the studio environment provided an avenue of relief from the inadequate conditions at the overcrowded camp. Also from Senegal, living in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, is rapper Ibrahima El Latigazo who delivers his lyrics in French, Wolof, Spanish, English, and Sérère. Rounding up the Senegalese contingent is Mame Samba, a group that hold the spirits close when performing. Their contribution is from recording sessions they had with François R. Cambuzat and Gianna Greco (Putan Club, Ifriqiyya Electrique). Kiki Hitomi (Waq Waq Kingdom, King Midas Sound) returns to the fold, exhaling positivity with Canarian multi-instrumentalist Javier Afonso (Grenouille). The Canarian faction also includes violinist Mónica Viñoly, Dani Garcia (Lagoss, Tupperwear), and Vakawuare. Further guests include percussionist Miroca Paris (Cesária Évora, Madonna); Hamid Mantu (TransGlobal Underground); Ramjac (Dub Colossus), drums and percussion respectively. Also features Zeeteah.
