Bahama Soul Club’s 5th album “Bohemia After Dawn” draws deep inspiration from the multicultural verve of young worldly folk drawn to the Bohemian coasts of the most southwestern part of Europe, where hippie-esque hedonism, infinite musical diversity, and offbeat enchanted lifestyles fuel the scene.

From countless ideas and numerous demos over the past four years, the songs that shone the brightest were carefully handpicked and put together. 2018 saw the release of single “Never Roam No More” featuring the legendary John Lee Hooker, followed-up in 2019 by “Aint Nobody’s Business” with the spine-tingling vocals of Billie Holiday. Another real legend, Sister Wynona Carr is featured on “Tears Run Down”.

Increasingly during production band-leader Oliver Belz became aware of the amazing complexity of local artists, talented individuals to be found performing all day and night in the bars and near the beaches. It would take more than a couple of albums to bring these troubadours together. So there are exciting ideas for the future! For this album Bahama Soul Club presents just a few; an eclectic mix of artists that blessed the studio with some serious vibes. Josephine Nightingale appears on tropical-flavored “Mercy Me” and Taly Minkov-Louzeiro provides bluesy vocals for “Troubles All Be Gone”. The closing track on the album “Castelejo” is an homage to the late Vitor Hugo, featuring Rui Correia on accordion and vocals by Cutty Wren and Hedvig Larsson. These artists are from the local neighborhood, quite literally across the lane. What a blessing, what a discovery!

Last but not least … One of the most exciting voices in the Bahama Soul Club family so far… an ongoing love, Cuban artist Arema Arega is somewhat a permanent feature in BSC albums and here she shows her talents in juicy singles “Mango” and “Alma Sola”. As if this weren’t enough we’re more than proud to announce two cool remixes from the masters of the scene: mighty Club des Belugas and SMOOVE himself! Nuff said.

“Bohemia After Dawn”, matured for 4 sunny years doesn’t say “Hey, please like me”. It is just there, in its simple beauty, unobtrusive yet quietly confident. Every song shaped to the max, no compromises. Promise!
