Negro Impacto release first single in two years ‘Maybe’

It’s been two years since the Dundalk duo emerged and made impressions with with their debut EP of vibey R&B pop music.

Since then, Laurence Kapinga (Strangelove) and Chi-chi have been playing stages and festivals all over the country, with Laurence also DJing regularly in clubs in tandem.

Memorable sets this summer saw the band perform the ‘Cha-Cha Slide’ with crowd participation.

Now returning to the fruitful Negro Impacto project with their first single since 2021, ‘Maybe’ keeps that jangle R&B sound and brings in more textured live band production.
