 Omar Coleman & Igor Prado Bring Funk, Soul, and Blues Together on Old New Funky-And-Blue West Side Chicago vocalist and harmonica player Omar Coleman joins forces with Brazilian guitarist Igor Prado on Old New Funky-And-Blue, a standout release for the fast-growing NOLA Blue label. The album is a vibrant celebration of the blues as a living, evolving art form rooted in tradition yet unmistakably global in spirit. Prado, one of the most exciting guitarists on today’s international blues scene, is known to U.S. audiences from his earlier work with Delta Groove Records, while Coleman last turned heads with his 2024 collaboration Strange Times. Together, they form a powerful and natural partnership. True to its title, Old New Funky-And-Blue stretches beyond classic 12-bar blues into deep funk and soul, drawing inspiration from Chicago’s West Side, Bobby Rush, Syl Johnson, Memphis’s Hi Records, and the fiery guitar legacy of Albert King and Albert Collins. The album features six original songs by the duo alongside select covers, all delivered with grit and groove. Recorded in São Paulo and produced by Prado, the album crackles with energy. Coleman’s impassioned vocals and expressive harmonica pair seamlessly with Prado’s stinging guitar work, supported by a tight rhythm section and punchy horn arrangements. Relentless, danceable, and deeply rooted, Old New Funky-And-Blue captures the chemistry of a duo that sounds inseparable and leaves you wanting more. Tracks: 01. I’m Leaving My No Good Woman 02.
