Just weeks after winning the Grammy award for their 2015 Sylva album, Snarky Puppy announced a brand new release called Culcha Vulcha. Due out on April 29th, the album comes a few months after the release of Family Dinner Vol. 2, and marks the band’s first just-Snarky release in a number of years.
The new album fuses Snarky Puppy’s jazz-based influences with some more worldly approaches. Opening track “Tarova” weaves in South Asian percussion, while “Semente” captures a more Brazilian flare. Still, there’s plenty of Motown and funk inspired grooves to keep your feet tapping throughout the album.
Listen to Culcha Vulcha below, up until the April 29th release date:
