Bandua takes the centuries-old, traditional music from the Beira Baixa region of Portugal, and re-imagines it with an electronic folk reinterpretation. Conceived by Portuguese/Brazilian musician, sound-explorer and eclectic producer Tempura (Bernardo D'Addario) and Portuguese singer and all-round musician Edgar Valente, Bandua represents the first time that these sounds and songs have been repurposed as a melancholic, Portuguese-language electronic pop record.

Influenced by pagan and Moorish traditions, Beira Baixa is a central region of Portugal steeped in ancient culture with a rugged, hyper-regionalised history of folk music. With both artists having roots in the region, it felt right for them to collaborate and produce this love-letter to their homes. “Bandua is a reinterpretation of traditional Portuguese songs from the Beira Baixa region, bringing them into the modern world,” explains Tempura “we wanted to create something new, while not forgetting where we came from.”

Through Bandua, this ancient tradition of story-telling through percussive, multi-toned music will now find a new generation of listeners, thanks to Tempura and Edgar Valente.

Wiphala Sound Presenta : Relatos de Sirio

Manu Ela, artista y productora chilena, nos comparte desde Berlin un set inspirado en la mujer, en la belleza de sus cuerpos, de sus voces y de la energía fertil que nos ha traído a cada uno de nosotros a esta tierra mágica y abundante y lugar en donde mujeres de diversas partes del mundo se han reunido para elevar su voz y tomadas de las manos, construir un movimiento en donde se baila sin ropa, sin morbo y sin prejuicio, en donde la unión, los colores y el brillo son la clave del entendimiento y la conciencia para recuperar la fertilidad que nos hace imparables.

Un set con raíces en el hip hop, el soul y ritmos que activen las caderas, como soundtrack para celebrar la Revolución, la que viene desde adentro.

M.RUX - Djoungou (Edit)

A simple idea emerged on the beautiful Las Docas beach at the beloved Kompáz Festival, with the burning sun setting in the background by a team who has been providing support to the local community in the removal of garbage from the site since 2017. 

The commitment to the little festival has evolved today to an idea themed “Recover to Enjoy” through the birth of record label called “Kompáz” - with a goal to deliver their love and joy in all possible directions. This is the first compilation, with beautiful musical input by incredible producers @unchucao @ahaumusic @tukekere @menteorganica @danielsteinfelsmusic @jinyerei @inti-kunza @themoontour @fenumusic and @chombachomba.

Release date: 08/11/2020
