From February 25th to 28th, 2016, RBMA Bass Camp touched down in Santiago de Chile, bringing together 16 hand-picked participants from Latin America for a string of studio sessions, workshops and lectures at the NAVE cultural center. Among the international cast of participants were Chilean representatives Imaabs — member of the rising N.A.A.F.I collective currently making waves across the globe — cello virtuosa Felicia Morales, and singer and multi-instrumentalist Lia Nadja. We’re excited to unveil the result of their Bass Camp collaboration here for the first time.
“Extravío” bristles with the relentless, belligerent energy that the N.A.A.F.I name has come embody. Imaabs’ crashing, pneumatic soundscapes find an intriguing match in the portentous combination of Nadja’s vocals and Morales’ cello — making for a blazing mixture that could pass either as battle song or as requiem.
The N.A.A.F.I collective squares off with likeminded global label NON on May 20th as part of Red Bull Music Academy Festival New York 2016:
