Viva Diaspora finds renowned artist Shantel returning to his signature electronic Bucovina groove, blending folk and world influences with vibrant energy. Released by Essay Recordings in 2015, this album showcases Shantel’s flair for reimagining sounds from across Europe and beyond, bringing together rolling percussion, lively guitars, and inventive reinterpretations.
Across the album, Shantel revisits earlier works and classic tracks—transforming “No More Butterflies” into “Promised Land” and delivering a spirited dub version of Carte Postale’s “Rio.” Infused with elements of Greek music and playful, upbeat moments like “The Streets Where the Kids Have Fun,” Viva Diaspora stands out as a creative journey through global rhythms and innovative arrangements.
