Released at the beginning of 2018, in very limited quantities, the vinyl edition will soon be out of stock, like most of our productions, and we are looking at the possibility of a repress.
In this second volume, we’ll go deeper into “modern” Champeta, introducing pioneer Rata Piano from Barranquilla and his “guarapos”, a unique genre of champeta remixes of African anthems, typically dropping some catchy soukous guitar samples and going mad on some cheap Casio sampler over heavy drum machines played live.
Remixes and edits from Bosq (U.S.), The Busy Twist (UK), Umoja (NL), Bleepolar (CO), Dj Panko (ESP) and Frikstailers (AR) are featured on the limited edition vinyl.
The digital bonus version, available for free with the vinyl, comes with 8 extra remixes from Novalima (PE), Piper Street Sound (US), Frikstailers and Umoja again, Copia Doble Systema (DK), Thombs (CO), Kosta Kostov (DE), and Dj Galletas Calientes (CO / FR).
Notice the colourful sleeve, originally hand painted by William “El Maestro” Gutierrez, one of the most renowned “pico” sound-system visual artists from Barranquilla Colombia.
