,,Mambana is the combination of two very different personalities united by music.
Isabel Fructuoso (of Afro Medusa, Afro Angel etc) the Spanish singer and
songwriter with the wandering spirit full of Latin flava and influences, and
Axwell (DJ and producer/ mixer: Jetlag, Usher, Stonebridge, Room 5, Soulsearcher
etc) the young Swedish producer with the expertise and wizardry in production.
They mix the Latin attitude and the Scandinavian efficiency. The looseness of
the Spanish blood and the balance of the Swedish mind; the heat and the snow,
heart and brain, passion and focus, ying and yang.
Axwell gives Isabel the centre, whilst Isabel gives Axwell the fire, and it is
this putting together of two extremes which produces a very balanced cocktail.
Every Spring Isabel travels from wherever she might be on her travels in the world
(Brazil, Columbia, Mozambique… always its different) to cold Stockholm where she
meets up with Axwell and a new Mambana groove is born.
First was “No Reason” in 2002, “Libre” in 2003, and new for 2004 is “Felicidad”
celebrating the summer vibes. Another fusion of Axwell’s production escapades and
Isabel’s long travels and writing experiences.
In short – No Mambana – No Summer!''
