"Legacy' celebrates the 21st anniversary of the carnival group of the same name, which was founded by Mat Fox in South London. Usually around 100 strong, this scaled-down group of Kinetika alumni led by Mat's son Ruben Fox revisit some of the Bloco's iconic pieces on this landmark recording and features saxophonist Nubya Garcia, pianist Reuben James and trumpeters Mark Kavuma, Claude Deppa and Ife Ogunjobi. They revisit some of the Bloco's iconic pieces on this landmark recording. What is effectively a big band with guitar, Hammond B3 and a four-piece rhythm section of Brazilian surdos (bass drums), bells and snare drums, their sound is refreshingly new, enthralling, and vibrant."
