About KEENE & Kaleta
KEENE is a DJ and producer duo from Panama formed in 2010 by brothers Kevin and Lloyd Keene. The duo produces Afro House and Melodic House & Techno, releasing on labels including Get Physical Music, Club Bad, and their own Cacao Records which they founded in 2016.
Kaleta (Leon Ligan-Majek) is a guitarist from Porto-Novo, Benin who has performed with Fela Kuti, King Sunny Ade, and Lauryn Hill. He produces house and afro house tracks for labels including Music For Dreams, Razor-N-Tape Records, and Wonderwheel Recordings.
KEENE duo is back, presenting one of their biggest and favourite productions to date alongside former “Fela Kuti’s” guitarist Kaleta, this time on the vocals.
In his own words:
“‘Ayessi’ means entertainment with unity, in other words, let us unite by entertaining each other, says Kaleta, former guitarist for Fela Kuti’s band and singer on this collaboration. It is about people coming together as one. War, fighting, hatred, anger, division are not good for mankind.”
It’s a distinctive combination of Afro-Caribbean vibes and textures with an acid groove rubbing up against the fat and funky bassline in perfect undulating harmony. A quite intense track that is combined with his powerful vocals and Highlife guitar riffs. An outstanding track for this summer’s calendar.//
