Chico Mann's latest album, Analog Drift: Muy​.​.​. ​Esniqui, is straight from the '70s, but better. Using his Casio keyboard, drum machines, synths and other live instruments, Chico Mann refreshes the decade with his own Afro-freestlye or electro-afrobeat sound. Leisure suits are optional, but the atmosphere Mann re-imagines is relaxed, bilingual, sometimes tropical and certainly playful. Fans of The Talking Heads should check the album out for Mann's cover of "Once in a Lifetime".

Pay attention to the Chico Mann, also known as Antibalas guitarist Marcos Garcia. His New York-born/New Jersey-raised Cuban roots color his musical career, which he pursued following his father's footsteps as a DJ and label owner. Mann has worked with big names from the "golden era" of hip hop, and is cutting a swath through New York City with his various musical projects.
