One of those rare, lesser-known Latin funk gems is undoubtedly “Miami” by Dominican-Venezuelan musician “Porfi Jimnez”, originally released in 1971. Sought after by DJs and collectors for years, original copies are now almost impossible to find in decent condition.

The track has been high on “Matasuna Records”‘ wish list for a long time – and after several years of work, it’s finally getting an official reissue. The release also includes a great edit by Philadelphia-based DJ and producer “Retro Roland Riso”, who has already left his mark on previous Matasuna releases.

This heavy Latin funk joint from Venezuela is ready to bring the heat just in time for summer!

The original version of “Miami” impresses with its driving percussion, powerful horns and raw, unpolished sound, delivering pure energy. The fusion of funk grooves and Latin American rhythms creates an infectious vibe that is perfect for the dance floor.

Retro Roland Riso’s edit carefully enhances the track by adding extra beats and percussive elements, giving it more punch and making it even more club-friendly, while staying true to the original feel. It’s a fresh favourite for any bag!
