Like a flower ready to transform itself upon spring’s long-awaited arrival, Dandara & Tom Nikso’s split EP ‚Pédia‘ opens up to blossoms with colour and strength, marking the latest release on A Tribe Called Kotori.

The two collaborative tracks ‚Kuzco‘ and ‚Pédia‘ grow from the same oriental-leaning roots: while the irresistible groove of the former snakes into your subconscious like a tropical vine, the latter’s desert-wind strings and dramatic vocal of Lola Calvet then rush to ruffle its lush leafs.

Tom Nikso’s laidback ‚Unik‘, meanwhile, shimmers richly with morning dew and ‚L-Za‘ by Dandara feels like an ode to the warming rays of sunshine, ready to give the world a kiss of life.
