Straight out of Jersey City, Chico Mann comes through with a heavy dose of instant-vintage electro-freestyle-Latin-Afrobeat. If you need a visual aid,picture an early ‘80s late-night jam session with Fela Kuti and the Fania All-Stars taking turns on that old Casio you used to jam out on at your cousin’s house. Chico Mann is the brainchild, or better yet, soulchild of Marcos Garcia, better known to some as a guitarist and singer for Antibalas, Brooklyn’s finest Afrobeat collective. Manifest Tone Volume 1, the first album by Chico Mann, was a one-man-show created by Marcos, combining old-school Casio drum patterns with Afrobeat guitar lines, funky synth grooves, and call-and-response vocals into a sonic blend that sounds like the past but tastes like the future. – ReUp Magazine
