Jose Conde's 2022 Album
Souls Alive in the 305
16 weeks Top 20
# 1 on NACC Latin. #19 Soul #20 World (North America! )
Global eclectic artist Jose Conde's latest album is a sonic journey into electric, eclectic, tropical funk. Souls Alive in the 305 (PiPiKi Records), is Conde’s second solo album and fifth overall, and it adds to his critically acclaimed, eclectic body of work with Cuban roots band OLA FRESCA. The new album hovered for 12 weeks in the top 5 of the NACC Community and College Radio charts of North America in 3 different genres, peaking at #1. The recipient of a Best Album IMA in 2008, Conde is an engaging performer, multi instrumentalist, and songwriter who has a knack for blending rhythmic elements across genres seamlessly in memorable, lyrical songs rooted in his love and fascination of nature, his appreciation for the absurd, for existential explorations, and his own Cuban American reality. His music is distributed internationally on all platforms by Virtual Label and is included in nearly 20 compilations by Putumayo, Rough Guide, Mr Bongo UK, and McDougall Littell. To date he has over a million streams on Spotify and has a solid international fan base of listeners on all streaming venues. Jose Conde has performed throughout North America, Latin America, and Australia in major festivals and venues such as Montreal Jazzfest, Chicago World Music Festival, Santa Monica Pier, Voodoo Festival New Orleans, Darling Harbor Fest Sydney Australia, NY Central Park Summer Stage, Millennium Stage, Chicago World Music Festival, Washington DC, etc.
His most diverse release to date, Souls Alive in the 305 grooves through a wide range of moods and continues Conde’s knack for blending rhythmic elements across genres seamlessly in memorable, lyrical songs rooted in his love and fascination of nature, his appreciation for the absurd, and for existential exploration, and in his own Cuban American reality. As he passionately explains, “My journey has taken me full circle back to a more pop approach and back to the city where I am from. After writing and producing so much Cuban music I have been gravitating towards funk and in this case the funky pop I heard prevalent in Miami while growing up…on the radio or spilling out of cars. Soul and funk, breakbeat, Miami bass, disco rap, rock n roll, Cuban music and salsa all co-exist in the Miami musical landscape of my youth.” The result is funky, eclectic, crossover pop, with 8 new songs written half in English and half in Spanish.
