Daniel David Tambor de Cura / Devotion

Bastard Jazz is proud to present the first solo record from Daniel David (FKA Trailer Limon) - known for his work in the legendary SF duo the Pendletons, Daniel was responsible for helping to kickstart the “Modern Funk” resurgence that happened in the Bay in the mid Aughts. On this 7” Daniel continues pushing boundaries with two heavy tracks influenced by the sounds of Brazil - "Tambor De Cura” sees him teaming up with Bay Area staples Jazz Mafia and Rio De Janeiro artist Guinu to cook up a genre defying dancefloor hitter that blends dirty analog Brazilian funk, sci-fi synth sounds and raw horn lines with an unstoppable bass hook. Midway, the song transitions into a Samba break with a beautiful trumpet solo, while seamlessly returning to its infectious house tempo. Guinu’s passionate vocals highlight the healing power of the music. On "Devotion", Daniel and Jazz Mafia bring a rich up-tempo offering. Building off of a hypnotic jazzy house piano and tapestry of congas and live percussion, Daniel soulfully paints a picture of connecting to spirit through one’s inner world. Jazz Mafia’s driving horns build throughout, propelling the track, with relief by an energetic drum breakdown and conga solo. Daniel David (fka Trailer Limon) is a Bay Area born and raised multi-instrumentalist producer and singer. Currently based in Dallas, TX, Daniel is one half of San Francisco’s boogie funk outfit The Pendletons, which he heads up with musical partner E Da Boss. Growing up around a diverse palate of music, Daniel connected strongly to mid-eighties rap and freestyle music, while also being enthralled with the rock and jazz fusion music from his father’s record collection. Daniel has collaborated with Potatohead People, B.Bravo, Zackey Force Funk, TRKRNR, E. Live, Mofak, Neon Brown and many others.
