about

Palenque Records vs. Llorona Records Vol 2: Sexteto Tabalá - Ofelia feat. El "León" Pardo (Cerrero Dub Mix) Produced por Lucas Silva and Cerrero.

"The first decades of the 20th century witnessed important sonic migrations for the afro sound in Colombia. Sugar cane farmers from Cuba and Jamaica came to the caribbean and pacific coast regions of the country to work in the plantations and brought with them rhythms such as Changui and son. Locals from pure afro-descendent towns such as San Basilio ri Palenge quickly learned and transformed those rhythms injecting their own flavor coming from powerful musical expressions such as lumbalú and pajarito to create a new sound. El Sexteto Tabalá is known as the leading band preserving and playing this "Sexteto" style that arouse from that culture clash in which different roots from the african diaspora came together in the souther region of Cartagena - Colombia" says Lucas Silva from Palenque Records.

This second volume of the collaboration between Palenque Records and Llorona Records presents the classic tune Ofelia by El Sexteto Tabalá revisited in a deep dub version by Cerrero and invited trumpet player El "León" Párdo. Searching to explore a new dimension of the Afro - Colombian sound, this take on the original recording goes beyond the party fever to dive into a more contemplative ritual sound that looks into another side of the song.

"The idea of a dub mix is to direct the attention of the listener to the hidden elements of the track, strip it down to their tribal core essence and tell the story in a different way. We are working with Lucas in revisiting some of Palenques Record catalog classics and present it again with a new sound. This side of the history of how Africa settled in America hadn´t gone through the amazing experiment of dub mixing until now" says Diego Gómez aka Cerrero.
Palenque Records vs. Llorona Records Vol 2: Sexteto Tabalá - Ofelia feat. El León Pardo (Cerrero Dub Mix) Producido por Lucas Silva y Diego Gómez

Las primeras décadas del Siglo XX atestiguaron importantes migraciones sonoras: desde Cuba y Jamaica llegaron a Colombia decenas de expertos cultivadores de caña para trabajar en los ingenios Central Colombia (en el caribeño departamento de Bolívar) y Sautatá (en el departamento del Chocó), trayendo con ellos ritmos como el changüi y el son, cuyos formatos fueron rápidamente acogidos y transformados por los trabajadores provenientes de comunidades como San Basilio ri Palenge, desde donde el Sexteto Tabalá le daría un giro inspirado en tradiciones musicales como el lumbalú para crear un sonido nuevo en el que se encuentran distintas raíces de la diáspora africana, nos cuenta Lucas Silva de Palenque Records.

En este segundo volumen de los encuentros entre Palenque Records y Llorona Records, les presentamos el clásico Ofelia, en la interpretación del Sexteto Tabalá, revisitado desde las técnicas de producción del dub para explorar una nueva y profunda dimensión de las músicas afrocolombianas, que trasciende el estallido rítmico de la fiesta para sumergirse en un sonido meditabundo y ritual, que transforma la narrativa misma de esta canción.

Al respecto nos cuenta Cerrero: buscar un sonido distinto en la mezcla es cambiar el foco de atención, poner al frente elementos que pasan desapercibidos y que transforman la historia de la canción. Estamos revisando el catálogo de Palenque Records para presentarlo de nuevo desde un sonido distinto, aportar a la escena dubbera desde los sonidos de Palenque y ese pedazo de la historia de cómo llego África a América.

The Andes are calling. They want me to reconnect with nature. I tell them I've been thinking about it, but I don't dare to. I'm too comfortable where I am, but deep inside me I know I'm not 100% fulfilled. Something is missing. It hasn't rained in my city for months. I miss the smell of wet earth, but here, I only smell concrete and asphalt. I love when I go to the forest and my skin feels the touch of trees and plants. Like a caress from a mother to her child. What better feeling than that. Legruu
