"Los Charly's Orchestra team up with UK legend of Jazz & Neo Soul, Xantone Blacq, who takes a turn this time to lay down an stunning vocal delivery for this new release entitle "All Around The World".
Unarguably London / Venezuelan production duo Juan Laya & Jorge Montiel Aka: Los Charly's Orchestra have proven to be one of the prime and most consistent purveyors of Soulful Disco, Jazz Funk & Latin fusion in the current global scene. On the other hand, Mr Xatone has been busy over the past few years doing some serious things, which range from playing keys for Amy Winehouse's band, to collaborations with Earth Wind and Fire and lately for the amazing album of Personal Life and his own material.

So I think you are already getting an idea of where is this collaboration of LCO and Mr Xan heading to, right?

London/Venezuela production duo Juan Laya & Jorge Montiel aka Los Charly’s Orchestra take influences from Salsoul, Fania, Donna Summer, Cerrone, Herbie Hancock and even Jamiroquay and blend them with their very unique style of production in order to deliver their latest anthem of Neo Latin Disco.

After a few months of experimentation across different sounds Los Charly’s are back into their main arena with an outstanding new single entitle Everlasting Love.

Those guys were first known by their initial Disco/Funk period and more recently by their infectious Latin/Funk sound, which has been buzzing all around the place for the past couple of years.

This new single expresses a cross road in between the two periods of LCO bringing up a new perspective for the future of this outfit.
