Nearly a decade ago, Snarky Puppy expanded on their jazz-funk foundations by recording the album "Sylva" with the famed Metropole Orkest. The collaboration garnered them a Grammy for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album, and now they’re looking to repeat history.

Snarky Puppy is dropping "We Like It Here (Remixed + Remastered + Reimagined)" on December 6, 2024, and they’re giving us a taste for what’s to come.
