Inspired by the energy of Ibiza&#8217;s nightlife, Vanco also knows how to reconcile afro-house with mainstream music, as on the remixes he has delivered for the Black Eyed Peas or Daddy Yankee. It was on the island that never sleeps that he produced &#8220;Kitchen&#8221;. Back at his hotel in the early hours of the morning after a wild night out with Jamezi and the Martinez Brothers, Vanco gave birth to this track in less than half an hour, as if in an altered state. Hypnotic synths and a heart-pounding bass line make this metallic symphony one of his signature tracks. We&#8217;re anticipating similar success for his forthcoming EP <em>iThemba: a Journey of Hope<\/em>, for which he has already unveiled the single &#8220;Hoya&#8221;, in collaboration with British-born Nigerian Tunde, and which is featured in this mix. In it, he invokes the warrior goddess Oya, associated with wind, tornadoes and transformation, a metaphor for our need for change and open-mindedness, through the prism of the Yoruba religion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/1656084807%3Fsecret_token%3Ds-9SpcwXf7dKL&#038;color=%23ff5500&#038;auto_play=false&#038;hide_related=false&#038;show_comments=true&#038;show_user=true&#038;show_reposts=false&#038;show_teaser=true\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><div style=\"font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc;line-break: anywhere;word-break: normal;overflow: hidden;white-space: nowrap;text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif;font-weight: 100;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/panafricanmusic\" title=\"Pan African Music\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" rel=\"noopener\">Pan African Music<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/panafricanmusic\/pam-club-vanco\/s-9SpcwXf7dKL\" title=\"PAM Club : Vanco\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" rel=\"noopener\">PAM Club : Vanco<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tracklist: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Antdot, Paulo Novaes, Nina Oliveira \u2013 Viagem ao Centro do Eu<br>Chrisoul Inactive &amp; TorQue MuziQ &#8211; Burning Spear<br>VANCO feat.
