༄⧖ 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑶𝒏𝒆 𝑷𝒐𝒆𝒎 𝑷𝒐𝒆𝒕 ⧖༄

This is a re-release of the original demo, taking into great consideration and carefully following the community feedback I ended up changing the whole structure of the track in less than 24 hours. It wasn’t the plan at all, but after receiving feedbacks and comments, I actually stopped and really listened in a different way. And honestly, some of the feedback made me see things I hadn’t noticed on my own. There were just too many ideas, too many layers… maybe I was trying to say everything all at once. So I started stripping things down, making space. I kept only what truly mattered — and even though a lot has changed, the atmosphere and the narrative built around Lauren Bacall’s voice are still there.
Now I feel like the track breathes better. Huge thanks to everyone who took the time to share their thoughts with me. Always open to new suggestions and opinions. 
Here is the second version of 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑶𝒏𝒆 𝑷𝒐𝒆𝒎 𝑷𝒐𝒆𝒕
🖤

Questo è una riedizione della demo originale. In meno di 24 ore ho cambiato completamente la struttura del pezzo. Dopo aver ricevuto diversi feedback, mi sono fermato ad ascoltare da un nuovo punto di vista. E devo dire che certe critiche mi hanno fatto vedere cose che da solo non riuscivo a notare. C’erano troppe idee, troppi livelli... forse stavo cercando di dire troppo tutto insieme. Così ho iniziato a togliere, a fare spazio. Ho lasciato solo ciò che davvero serviva — l’atmosfera, la narrazione legata alla voce di Lauren Bacall, quella è rimasta lì, uguale. Sento che adesso il pezzo respira meglio. E mi ci ritrovo ancora di più.
Davvero, grazie a chi ha avuto la pazienza e la voglia di dirmi la sua.

Shika Shika - the record label without borders or owners - celebrates its first physical format release with ALBURA, the new album of Barrio Lindo, available as a 12” limited edition and in digital format on April 6th.
ALBURA is a portrait of the last three years of touring through Latin America, USA and Europe, that inspired this new phase in the work of Agustín Rivaldo, producer, luthier, and co- founder of Shika Shika Collective.
With its 12 tracks, ALBURA invites the listener to go on a deep and fresh journey into the contemporary sound of Latin American music, accompanied by organic electronica. In the midst of cumbias, sambas, carnavales and folkloric melodies, this record includes collaborations with indispensable referents of the new wave of South American producers who have crossed paths with Barrio Lindo: Jhon Montoya, Ela Minus, Lulacruza, Clara Trucco a.k.a. Wende Wen (Fémina/Weste) y Carrot Green.
This album merges the two universes that coexist in Agustín Rivaldo: the role of producer and the role of a luthier dedicated to traditional South American instruments. In fact, the name ALBURA is a botanical nod to the youngest part of the wood of a tree, and where the most recent growth rings of the trunk are found, at the same time a vital part for luthiers.
During the production process, Rivaldo recorded with instruments that he made himself: charangos, guitars, quenas and marimbas, among others. On the songs Pura danza, Saudade and Intensidad mañanera he uses his own singing voice.

Written, Played and Composed by Agustín Rivaldo a.k.a. Barrio Lindo 
Tape Master by Jerónimo Escajal in Estudio El Nogal 
Mastered by Sebastian Cordovés 

in collaboration with: 
Jhon Montoya "1-Facón" 
Lulacruza "3 . Otoño Primavera" 
Carrot Green "4 - Na rúa" 
Wende Wen "6 - Belleza en el Aires" 
Ela Minus "8 - Túneles"

Become a fan of Rio Mira: 

www.facebook.com/RioMiraMarimba/ 

Co-produced by Grammy nominee Ivis Flies and Grammy winner Ivan Benavides, Rio Mira is a marimba supergroup with Afro-Pacific binational heritage consisting of some of the most in-demand and respected musicians from Colombia and Ecuador. Their music is the sonic rejoining of the region known as El Pacífico Sur, one connected by history, ecology and culture and divided by the national borders of Ecuador and Colombia.   

The people throughout this area have similar music, food, speech, fashion, and background, and it is no coincidence that the band takes its name from the Mira River that flows across these borders, connecting rather than dividing people and cultures. This area is home to a great many people of African descent and the rhythms of Africa have become entwined with the lilt and grooves of Colombia and Ecuador. Marimba music has become firmly established, a sound so sacred it was added to UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2015.  

Marimba Del Pacifico is a beguiling showcase of this protected sound, a celebration of a unique cultural heritage found nowhere else on the planet, by a band of young musicians keeping this strong tradition alive.

TEMA DE DOLORES SALINAS , una de las voces legendarias de las ALEGRES AMBULANCIAS
OTRO HIT DE PALENQUE RECORDS 

The Jolly Ambulances: "Afro-Colombian Funeral Music" 

"The Art of Ancestor Mourning in San Basilio de Palenque" 

"Today, the 10th of May 2000, we are here in San Basilio de Palenque. Palenque de San Basilio, the first freed village in America, a small piece of Africa in Colombia…" Victor Cimarra walks on the village streets with his machete in his hand; he has just come back from the mountain where he spent his morning sowing manioc, rice and plantains. Behind him lays his native village, the symbol of 500 years of history, and of the fierce struggle of the nègres marrons1 against slavery and the colonial order.

"Today we shall record the first album by the 'Jolly Ambulances', the Palenque mourners and legendary rum drinkers who sing at funeral wakes and honour the memory of our ancestors. Without them, there can be no proper funeral in Palenque. 

'The Jolly Ambulances' are the representatives par excellence of ancestral Palenque music (other bands in the village, such as the Sexteto, have integrated more modern rhythms). They belong to the Cabildo Lumbalú, which has existed since colonial times and which gathers the village elders into a kind of brotherhood in charge of burials and everything related to the cult of the dead in Palenque. The Cabildo is the direct descendant of the state that ruled the life of the Palenquero maroons. It was a warrior state, a society aiming to resist the colonial order. Each time a villager dies, the family of the deceased calls for the Jolly Ambulances to perform during the funeral wake, which must last nine days and nights. 

Graciela Salgado is the bandleader because she belongs to the family of the 'natural' Cabildo leaders: the Salgado Valdez, better known as 'Batata', a dynasty of drummers famous throughout the region. "We have named this band 'The Jolly Ambulances' because we are jolly old women, we drink rum and sing and liven up funeral wakes. It is the art of mourning the dead to please our ancestors", says Graciela.

The mourners drink their bottle of Ñeque rum and start to sing in their deep, sad voices, so that the Africa fills the bush again with songs which could well be the laments of the slaves during their sea-crossing on the slave boats. "The first music in the world was that of the Jolly Ambulances, the true African bullerenge", says Jose de la Cruz Valdez. Next to him, a huge sound system plays African music, some very loud soukous. Times have changed but the musicians of the Jolly Ambulances have retained their music, which hasn't aged a bit.

In a small beaten-earth house, the mobile studio has already been set up. Pets make their way through mike cables and everyone drinks Ñeque rum because the old mourners cannot sing without rum! 



1 Macaco Mata el Toro - Chalupa 

Graciela starts to sing: "I haven't eaten for three days/ I haven't drunk water for four days aehhh / they are coming down the mountain, they go and fetch water / Goodbye Macaco, Macaquito / Farewell Macaco / take it by the tail aehh / ah that bull is courageous!!" 
"Macaco was a small fish. This piece was written by my mother, La Lu Valdez. She had a beautiful voice, like the sound of a clarinet. She would have a few drinks and start inventing songs. I have never heard anyone sing the bullerengue like her, ever. La Lu Valdez!! She would go to Cartagena every week to sell sweets and fruit to the tourists. For days she would walk with a tray on her head. Then she would come back with many songs that she had learnt or composed." 
This piece was taken up by my brother, Paulino Salgado "Batata", with a real band. The day I saw him on stage, I was so moved that I cried (CD LC6759: Batata y su Rumba Palenquera" Network).
