In 2017, the Afro-American producer and percussionist Otura Mun<\/a> captured the attention of listeners around the world with a grandiose debut album. With IIII+IIII<\/em>, he and his band delivered a true electro-religious ceremony, where dancehall, trap and Afrobeat were intertwined with Yoruba culture, which he also represents as a priest. With world quarantine, \u00ccF\u00c9 was forced to stop filming and refocus on creation. From Puerto Rico, he took advantage of his summer isolation to play online and refine his art at home. Deprived of his band, he went into exploration mode, even creating his own version of J Dilla’s “Fuck the Police.” In duet with singer Lavoski, the new female voice who joined the project at the beginning of the year, Otura released 2020 Live at IL\u00c9 \u00ccF\u00c9<\/em> at the beginning of the month, a bootleg of classics and unreleased songs recorded live and linked together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
