Kafele ft Eliki "Secret" out now on Traxsource via Ocha Records.
February 2013 was the release for this highly anticipated single, with an original mix by Kafele, and remixes from all over the globe: Dj Cecil, Ezel, Eltonnick, and Yotam Avni.
The original release info:
Two of the most respected
songwriters in our scene, Kafele and Eliki come together again to
deliver nothing short of a sexy masterpiece. Eliki, (pronounced
Ee-like-ee) is an artist known for her sweet soulful tone.
A voice that reminds you of a past generation with a wordplay and style
that reflects the here now. Kafele, trumpeter, composer and producer,
has been playing the trumpet for over 20 years. The name Kafele
(pronounced kuh-FAY-lay) is of African origin, and means worth dying
for. Born in Baltimore, Maryland and raised in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
We are so excited to be able to bring this inspiring team to you on this
release.
On remix duties we have some of our favorite young stars doing what they
do best. DJ Cecil's Beatdown is exactly that, a soul-filled broken
beatdown straight from the Bay Area. While rising star and fellow Ocha
artist Ezel brings his signature Quisqueya Soul sound and takes the tune
for a ride. South African superstar Eltonnick representing red hot
Baainar Records delivers a remix that has already proven to be a
chart-topping smash in SA and last but certainly not least, Israel's
Yotam Avni lets the vocals breathe and tells us "More is Less".
