Hero was born in West Africa to parents from Ghana and Togo. He was exposed to the rich cultural environment that inspired his love for music. From a young age, he developed a passion for creating his beats, drawing inspiration from the vibrant rhythms and melodies of African music. Today, Hero is a producer, DJ, radio host (Oroko Radio) & event manager living in Berlin Germany, where he blends modern sounds with traditional African rhythms to create a unique sound. His music is all about bringing people together through dance and celebration, and he's constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible in music.



And this is the project description:


"Kumasi Lab" is an experimental EP that serves as both a sonic exploration and a personal journey for hero. Drawing inspiration from the rich cultural landscapes of Africa, where the artist hails from, this project is a bold fusion of diverse genres, including the pulsating rhythms of Uganda, Angola and the infectious energy of Brazilian Baile Funk.

The title, "Kumasi Lab," pays homage to Kumasi, a vibrant city in Ghana, symbolizing the artist's roots. The "Lab" element reflects the experimental nature of the project, where the artist steps into uncharted territories of sound, pushing the boundaries of his previous work and breaking free from any creative confines.

This EP is more than just a collection of tracks; it showcases the artist's desire to rediscover himself through music. By blending these global sounds with his unique production style, the artist demonstrates his versatility and willingness to take risks, delivering an innovative and fresh auditory experience that challenges expectations and redefines his musical identity.

“El sonido de Caballito refleja el calor, la alegría, las raíces, las ganas de mover el culo, el sudor, la buena onda...”
Caballito da a luz en una cálida Granada en septiembre de 2010, fruto del reencuentro entre Bigote y Grita, dos auténticos exploradores y recicladores de los ritmos latinoamericanos.
Pioneros en nuestro país en esta corriente ElecTropical que poco a poco va invadiendo todo el globo, empiezan sus andadas publicando varias mixtapes en su propia web y en distintos blogs del subterráneo movimiento. Pronto decidirían ilustrar sus mezclas con una explosión de gifs animados, vídeos y colores estridentes y muy chillones (creados por ellos, son también apasionados de la imagen), creando así un entorno psicodélico, divertido y uniforme. Fue entonces cuando Grita y Bigote decidieron lanzarse a la producción estableciendo su propio netlabel, siguiendo la línea de la licencia libre (Creative Commons). De esta forma, todo lo publicado en Caballito, ya sean producciones suyas o de otros artistas, fluye libremente por la red.

“Caballito sound reflects the warmth, the energy, the roots, the need to move the ass, the sweat, the good wave...”
Caballito is born in Granada, in September 2010, when Daniel aka Bigote and David aka Grita meet again. It was a while since these two guys were checking out traditional Latino-American rhythms and discovering the Digital Cumbia, new Tropical style emerging all around the world.
Caballito, pioneer in our Country within this musical current, started publishing mixtapes in his own web and in different blogs, with the intention of breaking our hips. But quickly this world was too small for them, so they started to flood us with videos and psychedelic gifs. Was at that time when Grita y Bigote jumped into production creating their own netlabel, whose phylosophy follow the free licence idea. All the stuff published - their own productions and the collaborators’ ones - all flow freely through the web.
