Preview: Tropical Pressure @ Mount Pleasant Eco Park (14th to 16th July 2017)
If the UK Far West has never been so warm, rhythmic and exciting, the credit goes to Tropical Pressure, which, during the last two years has gathered at the westernmost tip of England some of the most original and refreshing acts and sounds coming from Africa, the Caribbean and Latin America.
From the 14th to the 16th of July, three Tropical days and nights will light up Porthtowan in Cornwall, for one of the most inclusive, organic and stimulating events of the British Summer.
Tropical Pressure is a festival on its own: surrounded by a picturesque scenery that is accessible to everyone thanks to its reasonably priced passes, it is cherished by many music lovers because of its exquisite line-up. Tropical Pressure is arguably the place to be during the second weekend of July.
That’s what will happen when the sun is out and the evenings are going to be all-out parties. The so-called Tropical Nights will enjoy the talent and taste of some of the funkiest global beats DJs. For example, we are talking about Philou Louzolo, Chief Boima, Downbeat Melody feat. Das Rigby and Ru Robinson.

A sentimental fist-bump to Afro-Funk, Vaudou Game’s album OTODI (released by Hot Casa Records) mixes traditional Togolese scales with a James Brown-style rhythm section intended for ritual dance. Lead songwriter Peter Solo attempts to conjure the spirits of voodoo, the very spirits he converses with daily. The third offering from lead…
Womex is something more than an exhibition: it’s more intense and bonding. That’s probably why, for the second time in the last three years, it happened in Santiago de Compostela. More than 2000 “peregrinos de la musica” (music pilgrims), as Paul Bräuer (Piranha’s Director of Communications) aptly defined them, gathered…
