A long-time veteran of the Salvador, Bahia music scene, having played with Lampirônicos and Coletivo di Tambor, Mamah's first solo effort, Funk Nagô, is a subtle, yet complex, mix of genres, rhythms and references. Stylistically transiting between funk carioca, reggae, dub, carimbó and Bahian rhythms there is an almost imperceptible fusion of acoustic and electronic sounds.

The remixers stretch the original into new and surprising directions. DJ Tide fattens up the reggae, dub, dancehall, brega side of the track, throwing down long tom fills and bubbling horn riffs. Telefunksoul & TrapFunk&Alivio bring an insistent 4 on the floor kick drum, creating a trancey vibe while emphasizing the percussion. FurmigaDub takes it into a psychedelic spaghetti-western, northeastern Brazilian sertanejo apocalypse zone adding electric guitar, wobbling bass, drippy reverb and a long evolving arrangement.

At the same time as looking across to Africa and down to Rio, the track unquestionably has a fondness for all the deep, DIY sounds of Jamaica, with slowly-imploding beats and dancehall-tastic autotune. - Russ Slater Sounds and Colours

“Funk Nagô” es una pieza que mezcla con muchísima naturalidad en su ADN elementos de estilos distantes: carioca funk, reggae, dub, carimbó y ritmos bahianos. La pieza original invita al baile desde el vuelo, en esa proyección break saltarina que propicia el carioca funk, pero sin caer en los clichés de ese estilo, usando solo la sincopa y el flow, pero haciendo pie en la velocidad de las ricas rítmicas del norte de Brasil. A lo largo, la parte vocal del track se vuelve mántrica, en un tono sensual que también resulta provocador. - Andrés Oddone Cassette Blog
