Shakes & Les have carved out a unique spot in the contemporary music landscape, blending the sharp edge of urban beats with the soulful vibes of funk and afro-influences. This dynamic duo, whose names have remained enigmatic behind their monikers, broke onto the scene with a sound that refuses to be pigeonholed, reflecting a rich tapestry of cultural influences and an unbridled passion for rhythm and groove.

Their recent body of work showcases the duo's evolution and willingness to experiment, pushing the boundaries of genre conventions. "Funk 55" harkens back to the golden era of funk, with a modern twist that reimagines the genre for today's listeners. "Khampokonya" further exemplifies their mastery of rhythm, incorporating elements of traditional African music that insist on audience movement. The duo's versatile production skills shine in "Groovinhos Kitchen," a track that stirs up a melting pot of sounds to cook up a tantalizing sonic feast. Shakes & Les also demonstrate their adeptness at collaboration with the track "Sikisi," featuring Ice Beats Slide, 031Choppa, and Sbuda Maleather, creating an amalgamation of hip-hop and local flavors that capture the ear of a wide-ranging audience. With each release, Shakes & Les establish themselves not just as musicians, but as innovative composers of a new cultural soundscape.
