Vuvuzela Dourada (feat. Carolina Lelis)

Danish instrumental sextetSunbörn—winners of four Danish Grammys—join forces with acclaimed Italian producer/DJClap! Clap!(Paul Simon, Warp) for a boundary-blurring new album:Earth Is Begging. Releasing in autumn 2025 onWah Wah 45s, the project is a vibrant celebration of global culture and sonic fusion.

Following on from the exuberant debut single,Acarajé do Salmão, the second release to be taken from the project,Vuvuzela Dourada, featuring London dwelling Brazilian vocalistCarolina Lelis, is an urgent andvigorous blend of South American rhythms, brassy textures, and carnival spirit. Sunbörn and Clap! Clap! craft a rich, percussive soundscape, lifted by Carolina's luminous vocals. Rooted in Afro-Brazilian grooves and layered with bold horn lines, the track pulses with energy — a golden ode to dance, joy, and cultural celebration. Global grooves and modern tropical sounds come together in this high-energy dance cut with cultural flair.

Blending Afrobeat, Middle Eastern textures, jazz harmonies, and electronic dance music,Sunbörn Meets Clap! Clap!weaves a high-energy soundscape of hypnotic grooves and soaring melodies. Their music explores the idea of a cultural melting pot—where traditions meet future sounds, and rhythm transcends borders.
