Reggae en Español Unbound Mixtape (2011) #1

Palenkeando #4 compiles songs that help revindicate/document/widen the discussion about the African legacy in Latin America lyrically and musically. The 60min mixtape begins with tracks that allude to racial disparities since the colonial era and transitions into singing about how that past is still embedded in the present. Songs such as "Conga de San Benito" by legendary Son Jarocho group Chuchumbe are exemplary of Mexico's black colonial legacy while the cajon drumming/spoken word by Afroperuvian Caitro Soto remind us of the severe casta injustices of the past. Next, the mixtape moves into an electroLando jam titled "Africa Landó" by Novalima followed by a Currulao track titled "Traigan la batea", with the explendid voice of Afrocolombian Nidia Gongora (From el Timbiquĺ), from the Ondatropica album/project. Her song "Traigan la batea" for instance speaks to the everyday mining labor in black communities near the pacific litoral in Colombia. In similar ways, the infamous salsa track "Rebelion" by Joe Arroyo speaks about the colonial tyrannies in the port of Cartagena. Hereafter the mixtape moves onto more contemporary social-politics and consciousness infused lyrically in Mexican, Cuban, and Colombian Hip-Hop. The main thread holding these songs/genres together is that they all help one way or another carve an African heritage narrative 

Overall, this compilation was put together to take you through a musical educational experience to broaden your knowledge on Latin America's race relations and above all to continue visibilizing the African descent experience in Latin America. Hope you enjoy it, share it with others. To get more detail info about the tracks selected in this mixtape visit http://djmafondo.weebly.com/1/post/2012/09/palenkeando-mixtape-4.html

The selected artwork for this mixtape is a painting by Adrian Sanchez Galque from 1599 that depicts Francisco de Arobe, the ruler of one of these Maroon communities, aged fifty-six, and his two sons, Pedro, aged twenty-two, and Domingo, eighteen. It is the earliest signed and dated South American oil painting of blacks.
