Sango Announces New 'Da Rocinha' LP, + Shares Lead Single "Agorinha"

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Ever since Sango dropped off his massive hard drive's worth of rough draft and beat sketches this summer, the Seattle-based Soulection producer has kept a relatively low profile. But oh, how quickly things change. Sango has just confirmed the imminent release of the third and final installment in his Da Rocinha series and shared the LP's lead single, a warped and hard-knocking cut entitled "Agorinha."

The record will come as the final installment in a series that's given us brilliant cuts including the modern soul-trap anthem "Me de Amor." Built upon records sourced from past Brazilian greats, fans can expect Da Rocinha III to offer airy melodies and knockdown bass in equal quantities. "Agorinha" premiered Wednesday over at The Fader, and Sango had this to say about his upcoming project.

Da Rocinha 3 is about keeping the the funk roots true and paying homage to the ones that helped start it...I want to respect and show Rocinha in a positive light with this record while staying true to my sound.

Listen to Sango's new single below and keep your head on a swivel for more news of the Seatown superstar.
