Sam Blacky Returns With Her Second Single of 2023 – Sultry Afrohouse “Munca” From Forthcoming EP. Out Now on Thrive Music
Los Angeles-based DJ and producer Sam Blacky returns with “Munca,” a sultry tribal/afrohouse gem that sonically reflects the style of Sam‘s upcoming EP. As an avid traveler and citizen of the world, she has always created music with a strong global motif, from her 2021‘s “Body” to “Paradise” to 2022‘s “Colombiana.” “Munca” leads with driving basslines, tribal melodies, and sultry vocals that will whisk you away to an ethereal African paradise where you can dance the night away. The new single follows Sam‘s recent release “Bogota” from April, which was also her debut on one of the leading American dance-electronic independent labels, Thrive Music.
“‘Munca’ is actually my favorite record on the EP. When I was writing the melody, I immediately fell in love, and the tribal vocal I layered on top just worked perfectly and gave the song such a beautiful, almost ethereal tribal rhythm. I’ve been really inspired by Afro House and World Music, in general, the last couple of years – and my music, as well as my sets, are gearing more and more towards that vibe. It’s been a journey figuring out my sound in the public eye, as most artists do that far before they even launch their projects. Munca, as well as the other two songs, are another step closer in the direction of where I want to be” – Sam Blacky
