New records added to our collection! 💿❤️

Gaby bought 3 new records for the bar. Here is her selection:

Ali by Vieux Farka Touré and Khruangbin:

A beautiful collaboration between Malian guitarist and singer Vieux Farka Touré and Texan trio Khruangbin. They bring together traditional Malian guitar and psychedelic rock to create something super groovy and hypnotic. The guitars sound so smooth together, blending two different musical worlds in a really special way.

Hebron Gate by Groundation:

A root reggae masterpiece! The band blends reggae and dub with jazz influences, creating a rich sound full of deep basslines, horns and beautiful keyboard solos. The rhythms are complex but everything grooves together perfectly. If you are a reggae lover, you will definitely love this one.

New Ancient Strings by Toumani Diabaté and Ballaké Sissoko:

This album features 2 masters of the kora, a traditional West African string instrument, playing together in a truly beautiful way. The sound is delicate, peaceful and hypnotic. If you’ve never heard a kora before, you will fall in love with the instrument after listening to this album.

Tonight, join us for a deep dive into Latin sounds, all on vinyl, with GAMOTO!’s Daan and Pablo Santo from 8pm - midnight.

Born in Amsterdam, Daan has spent years chasing records across cities and continents. That curiosity drives his sets, where Tropicalia sits next to Colombian cumbia, Afrobeat or anything interesting from the global South. Daan

Pablo brings Brazilian roots and a reputation as one of Dublin’s most versatile selectors, gliding between genres and tempos with ease. Pablo Santo

Together they’ll pull from Brazil, Colombia and beyond: Tropicália, cumbia, samba-funk and psychedelic grooves from across the continent, mixed back to back for a night built for dancing.

Slide to discover 5 of the records they’ll be bringing tonight ❤️

Eis o “Ôme” - Noriel Vilela Loose samba-soul swing with a smooth and deep voice.

O Cabra da Peste - Jackson do Pandeiro Fast forró from the northeast of Brazil, where the pandeiro never lets up and the vocals trip over themselves on purpose.

Los Orientales de Paramonga 1972-1976 Psychedelic cumbia from the Peruvian coast, with hazy wah guitar and banging grooves.

Club Coco - Coco Maria  Old tropical rhythms bent into something stranger and playful!

Los Belking’s  Peruvian ‘60s surf guitar with a swinging rhythm.

TBR W**e Club 🍷 We’re shaking up our w**e selection this Winter…

In addition to our regular w**es, we wanted to highlight some of our favourite new bottles to share with you all over the coming weeks. We’ll have limited stock of each so when something sells out, we replace it with something fresh thanks to our amazing suppliers.

We love the idea of everyone trying something new when they come to the Big Romance and we hope you feel the same way!

To kick things off, this week we drinking:

•⁠ ⁠La Sapata Rozé, the pretty pink pet-nat
•⁠ ⁠⁠Gre2, the poster-child for chilled Spanish reds
•⁠ ⁠⁠La Blanca, a Moravian blend of basically every grape we enjoy most
•⁠ ⁠⁠Tibo, an orange w**e for the thrill-seekers of a Tuesday afternoon.

Once they’re gone, they’re gone!

All four bottles pair well with dark winter nights, and the album “Norm” by Andy Shauf. Pop in and beat the blues with a red or a white 🪩
