Longtime label friend Voodoocuts teams up with Matasuna again for a new officially licensed 45.

The songs Soweto Disco and Shanana from the late seventies get the Voodoocuts treatment with his typical precision and attention to musical detail.

The latest release from Matasuna Records is the result of a transatlantic connection between the USA and Germany, whose common denominator is the love for Brazilian music. The journey started 17 years ago when the German musical duo Dubben got in touch with the late American musician Victor Meshkovsky. Almost two decades later, the Dubben interpretations of two songs that he once released with his band Made in Brasil on his own Nucleus label are now available! The second Dubben 7-inch on Matasuna features their great versions of the songs Grilos Cantam Para Anamaria and One Two-Two with a captivating vocal contribution by singer María del Rossario. The 7-inch includes an inlay with detailed liner notes by Dubben about the background of this release.
