Alfonso Soliano- Tiga Trombone

Tiga Trombone marks the inaugural release from Audible Beauty, Habibi Funk's new sister label — and it's a hell of a way to launch. The album tells the story of Malaysian jazz composer Alfonso Soliano, captured here from an original radio broadcast recording. It's Southeast Asian funk at its coolest: a full orchestra of horns, drums, electric keys, flutes, and guitars locked into a deep groove. If Habibi Funk has a hand in it, you know it's going to be good — and damn, this one is.
