Africa Express have announced the release of their new album, “BAHÍDORA”, out July 11th via World Circuit Records.

The announcement of the album came with two singles being shared. The first one being “Soledad” and it features Damon Albarn, Luisa Almaguer, Nick Zinner, Seye Adelekan, Joan as Police Woman and the Mexican Institute of Sound.

Luisa Almaguer shared this about it: “‘Soledad’ and Africa Express are both symbolic and material examples of reparation for the historical debt that whiteness and the mainstream owe to racialized and independent artists around the world, It makes me very happy to be part of this, it still feels like a dream to me. It’s a beautiful glitch in the Matrix.”

The second single is “Otim Hop” and it features Otim Alpha, Bootie Brown, K.O.G. and Tom Excell.

Bootie Brown shared this about the song: “Listening to the stories Otim was telling made me realize that you have to adapt to struggle. And when you think you have it hard, there is someone that can top your struggle very easy. The song was created when we were just sitting around from a long day and it was time to pack to get ready for the ride to the airport. Magic man Otim had an idea and we just all came together for one last effort.”
