Mind Enterprises signs to Because, shares funky new track "Chapita"

Turin-born, London-based musician Andrea Tirone has also shared the video, created by Ben Ashton and Fiona Gardon (The Fashtons).

Explaining his move to the UK, Tirone says: “I left Italy because I was a bit stuck there, I couldn’t find the right way to express myself.”

Speaking about the track, he adds: "Dick Kozha, from South Africa, wrote an album called Chapita and I was listening to it a lot. Sal from Liquid Liquid originally gave me the record in Turin. When I wrote the song I related the two names - Chapita is a girl, and the song is about a girl so I wanted to use the name as a sort of homage. I also imagined the song sonically as a minimalist take on Afro-funk, which is usually quite maximal with polyrhythms and percussion."

Tirone's first release was 2013's My Girl EP. "Chapita" is the first taste of his upcoming debut record.
