About Naïm y Powers
Naïm Amor and Kid Congo Powers met shortly before the pandemic in Tucson, Arizona. When the complete lockdown hit everybody, Naïm, like lots of other musicians, reclused himself in his studio and started experimenting with longtime ideas that were on the shelf. The initial idea was to combine rockabilly/garage electric guitars with electronic drum machines and bass synthesizers, a vague intuition inspired by Link Wray’s guitar tones on one hand and the electronic rawness of the band Suicide. After recording a couple tracks, Naïm got the idea of inviting Kid to collaborate in the making of some electric guitar “dialogs.” The tracks of their new collaboration, Tucson Safari, display the two different personalities and approaches of Naïm and Kid, both passionate electric guitar players, in the form of an exploration through composition and tone. The interwoven layers of guitars reveal the particular harmonic and melodic sense of Naïm’s sound “dancing” with the unmistakable slide and fuzzy tones of Kid.
The Amor y Powers Tucson Safari album release happened on November 16th at Club Congress. Check out the album at the following link:
