Here Comes The Sun vs La Primavera by AfroBeatles 

The AfroBeatles celebrate the release of our brothers, Ocote Soul Sounds', new album "Taurus" dropping soon on ESL Music.

Yes, AfroBeatles is traditionally Fela Kuti and Beatles mashes but, we will occasionally explore the recordings of bands that are heavily influenced by Baba (Fela).Heading up that list is the mighty Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra which has been for years preserving the riddims established by Fela Kuti, Tony Allen and others.

One of the founding members of Antibalas, Martin Perna (Sax, Flute, Vocals, Composition, Arrangement, Production) has a dope, dare I say, side-group, Ocote Soul Sounds with his production partner Adrian Quesada.These cats have been dropping dope original afro-latin-soul-funk grooves since '06 and you need to cop ALL their records.

If you aren't hip to these dudes, The AfroBeatles are happy to introduce, Ocote Soul Sounds with a cut off their new album "Taurus" entitled "La Primavera" or "The Spring" for the latino-challenged amongst us.How perfect to find a song about the winter ending and the spring beginning right when we are pining for that exact transition to occur."La Primavera" is the perfect conceptual groove-vehicle to smash with The Beatles' "Here Comes The Sun" which is, after all, roughly the same lyrical concept.

"La Primavera" lyrics M. Perna

Despues del invierno, (After the Winter)

Llega la primavera (Comes the Spring)

Llega la primavera

Dulce primavera (Sweet Spring)

"Here Comes The Sun" lyrics G. Harrison

Here comes the sun

Here comes the sun

and, I say, it's alright

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter

Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun

Here comes the sun

and I say, it's alright

Little darling, the smiles returning to their faces

Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun

Here comes the sun

and I say, it's alright

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
