We have been asked by lots of folks when they can buy the Sao Benitez track ‘Danca Loca’ (from the Bacardi campaign) as a physical release. We are pleased to say the track is now available as part of the Brazilian Beats boxset - 8 CDs of amazing Brazilian music of all genres (MRBCD057) available from www.buymrbongo.com
Sao Benitez’s track for Bacardi goes from strength to strength with plays on the Craig Charles Funk and Soul Show on 6 March. Massive mention and love from Craig!!

More information about the new Bacardi ‘Island’ campaign, which features the Mr Bongo track ‘DANCA LOCA’ is here.
Mr Bongo Records was thrilled to be commissioned by Rainer Kelly to compose a bespoke piece of music for the brand-new worldwide Bacardi ‘Island City’ campaign. After many hours in the Mr Bongo/Can Can studio with a variety of wonderful artists from South America and beyond (and a little rum!), the end-result is a wonderful party track in its own right. Written by Mr Bongo’s own legendary producer ‘Sao Benitez’ the track features special guests inlcuding Incognito’s horn section and the untapped talent of singer/beatboxer Sammy Sarfas.
Slotting right in with Mr Bongo’s catalogue of cutting-edge world music the track is called ‘DANCA LOCA’. The campaign has already been launched in the USA and looks set to hit Europe early 2010. Mr Bongo are also looking forward to working with Bacardi on the digital and physical release of the single on the Mr Bongo Record label and the related promotional opportunities this synergy will create.
