Haciendo su debut en el programa de **James Blake** en Radio 1 de la BBC ayer por la noche, **Mala** le hizo un favor a sus oyentes al subir su nueva canción "4 Elements" a YouTube. Dicho track vienen incluido en su nuevo álbum, titulado _Mirrors_, el cual saldrá con la disquera de Gilles Peterson, **Brownswood,** el próximo 24 de junio.

Este disco es el resultado de varias visitas a Perú donde Mala exploró las ideas de tempo y flow. Trabajó con distintos percusionistas afroperuanos, bailarines espontáneos de tap y un soprano andino. Después de esta experiencia, Mala declaró lo siguiente: "Fui introducido a la música de la jungla, música de las montañas, sonidos andinos, sonidos nativos y música afroperuana. Todo esto hace un regreso a las raíces y ritmos, cosa con la que me siento identificado. Este ritmo primitivo se encuentra en todos nosotros."

Mirrors is the second album by endlessly influential South London producer Mala. It follows his 2012 Brownswood release where Gilles Peterson invited the producer to soak up Cuba’s music and culture to turn the results into Mala In Cuba. But Mirrors is less Mala In Cuba Mk II and more the realisation of a creative method that works for this most understated and intuitive producer: digging deep into the roots of a culture, recording local musicians and sounds, and using the re- cordings as source material and storyboard for a record.

The product of repeated visits to dive into Peru’s music, it revolves around tempo and flow, working local Afro-Peruvian percussionists, grassroots tap dancers and an Andean soprano into its fourteen tracks. Mala went there for a month, visiting Lima along with Cusco and the Sacred Valley just out- side of the capital. “I was introduced to music from the jungle, music from the mountains, Andean sounds, native sounds, Afro-Peruvian music,” says Mala. “It all goes back to the roots and the rhythms and I related instantly. That primal rhythm is in all of us.”

Mirrors is a bridge joining Croydon and Lima. It creates a link between traditional instruments made from donkey jawbone and dried-out pumpkins and the contemporary box of tricks inside Mala’s laptop. Like all bridges it links the past to the present, giving a clear view of where Mala has been – and where he’s going next.
