Liner notes
A double A-side 12-inch and the second single from the King Yoruba sessions. Afro Boogie Super Hombre was recorded between Havana, at the Instituto Cubano de Radio y Televisión, and London, with the Cuban singer Javier Valera out front and a big brass section behind him. On the other side Sunlightsquare rework Earth, Wind & Fire's Fantasy, sung by the London soul vocalist Kevin Mark Trail and Lázaro Antonio "Toni" Rodríguez. Claudio Passavanti produced, arranged and mixed both. It came out in July 2013 on vinyl and digital, and Gilles Peterson's verdict was one word long: "Sick!"
