You probably already know Pastel, the UK-based French Polynesian multi-instrumentalist and producer known for his signature indie-dance style. In 2022, we raved about “Zoomin’“, his funky single with Nic Hanson.

The musician’s latest project, an EP titled baía do samba, melds enchanting Latin rhythms with electronic elements to create a truly blissful experience. With summer arriving, the 5-song mini-album transports will transport the listener to a samba extravaganza.

The EP’s invigorating focus track, “maba”, is especially captivating. Another track worth highlighting is “rosa blanca”, which features Colombian duo Cumbiafrica.

From the music to the illustrative artwork, baía do samba is such an amazing project. Listen to the EP via Spotify below and follow Pastel on Instagram for more.
