ZZK Records Presenta Indus - ‘Canción del Muerto’


Indus presents Canción del Muerto (Song of the Dead), an homage to the death rituals of the Colombian Pacific. 
“Canción del Muerto'' is the third single from Indus’s second album, an homage to the death rituals of the Pacific Caribbean. The song features an unlikely musical encounter in bringing together for the first time two major representatives of Afro-Caribbean music from widely differing generations and musical backgrounds: Francisco “Pacho” Torres, legendary marimba player and singer of the Colombian Pacific, and N. Hardem, one of the most important figures in modern Bogotá rap. 
The song speaks about the death of a loved one, while paying tribute to the flora and fauna of the Pacific and also to musical dynasties such as the Balanta, Torres and Carabali families, who have passed down their knowledge from generation to generation, through traditional songs and marimbas that are world heritage today, projecting into the future in new Colombian music. 
The video was made by the audiovisual collective Eric 2.8.2 and portrays the closeness to death and redemption, coming close to the light like coming close to the end, to the thing that does not return. At the bottom of the ocean, sea creatures and surreal floral scenes dialog with the music and accompany the deceased on their way to the afterlife.

In Venezuela "Bululú" is synonymous with agglomeration, tumult, crowd.

This EP is made up of 4 tracks - 2 singles and 2 remixes - where Candeleros gives off all his magic and energy at the service of dance and debauchery. A crowd that dances to the frenetic psychedelic rhythm of the Caribbean.

"La Meseta" mixes different rhythms, both Afro-Venezuelan and Caribbean. It is a cover of a Turkish folk song called Yaylalar performed by artists like Selda Bagcam.

The remix of "La Meseta" was done by Venezuelan producer Caribombo, who lives in France.

"Le Quedan Dos" is a cumbia-salsa, with a Gaita de Tambora arrangement at the end of the song, a rhythm from the southern coast of Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela.

It features the great singer Perro Loco del Amazonas on vocals.

The remix is by Matt Mansfield "Piper Street Sound" (US) in dub version.

The art is by the incomparable Laura Ortiz "Soma".

Ayala (IT) captures the vibe with the right amount of patience, build & steadiness that's meant to gradually set dance-floors in motion.

Ayala (IT) - Dakar

Peace is not the absence of sound, but the presence of perfect alignment. Beneath the movement of the stars and the silent hum of existence, every force moves in balance: gravity and grace intertwined. The mind expands, dissolving into a calm light where nothing rushes and nothing resists. In that eternal suspension, consciousness becomes the air itself: vast, weightless, and infinitely still.

Dengue Dengue Dengue continue expanding their carefully created aesthetic on their new album ‘Zenit & Nadir’ by diving into the deep and rich musical history of Afro-Peruvian music, already hinted in the first single ‘Ágni’, which is the inversion of the traditional Afro-Peruvian rhythm Ingá. The ongoing exploration of the vast and rich musical heritage of the descendants of the former African slaves in Peru has become the main focus of their new album. 

Their interest in Afro-Peruvian music has led them to meet and record extensively with several members of the Ballumbrosio family, a renowned musical dynasty in Peru that has kept Afro-Peruvian musical traditions alive, masters of rhythms like landó, festejo and crioullo music, with traditional dances and instruments such as the iconic quijada - a rattling percussive instrument made out of a donkey’s jawbone. 

The introduction of live recordings with the Ballumbrosio brothers has given a whole new dimension to their always-expanding sound, and they feature extensively all throughout the album. As they were such an integral part of the recording process it made perfect sense that they would contribute to expand Dengue Dengue Dengue’s memorable audiovisual performance as well, and have began playing live shows together this year. The marriage between the traditional and organic percussion of the Ballumbrosios with DDD’s hypnotic electronic production has created a whole new chapter for the band. 

After debuting in 2012, they established themselves as a driving force in the thriving South American digital cumbia scene, but have since expanded their hybrid approach to music to introduce more references such as kuduro and zouk - and more recently the above mentioned Afro-Peruvian styles - which they fuse with traditional Latin American rhythms to build a sonic identity that is hypnotic and dark, while simultaneously festive and life-affirming. 

With the band being a visual project as much as a musical one, their carefully created aesthetic can be immediately noticed in the iconic masks they wear, often referencing traditional or indigenous elements while being artful and futuristic, a striking visual representation of their approach to music. Their new masks, which are being debuted on their upcoming tour, were handcrafted by Barcelona-based artists Twee Muizen.

Ghetto Kumbé: welcome to the ritual of drums.

Raised on Colombia’s Caribbean coast and united by its capital, Bogota, Ghetto Kumbé combines the rich musical heritage of their home, to invoke the spirit of digital rumba in audiences all over the world. The secret behind their irresistible electronic ritual lies in their powerful percussion base; Caribbean house beats and traditional Afro-Colombian rhythms inherited from West Africa. The album’s co-producer, The Busy Twist, adds all the legacy of UK’s Bass scene to the Afro-futuristic sounds of the 3 Colombians.

Inspired by the different revolutionary movements emerging all over the world, Ghetto Kumbé will release their first full-length album in July 2020 on pioneering Latin American electronic label ZZK. Their self-titled debut is visceral, committed, and rebellious, denouncing through frantic rhythms the inequalities and abuses imposed by corrupt governments, while simultaneously enticing listeners to join in the fight. Dance mingles with awareness to create a global community, where family, friends, and strangers come together through our shared love of music and activate change amongst themselves.

Using musical motifs from Africa and Colombia’s Caribbean coast such as the gaita, call-and-response vocals, and an array of hand drums and rhythms, coupled with the elegant electronic production of Tech/House, Ghetto Kumbé creates an Afro-futurist soundscape with lyrics to motivate, elevate, and inspire.  Their first single to come out, ‘Vamo a Dale Duro’, is a fluorescent criticism of the unjust divide between the poor and the rich, the rising prominence of dirty politicians, and the ethics of the capitalist system while encouraging people to stand up and fight for a dignified existence. The album’s tone fluctuates fluidly between tracks that include ancestral chants, voices both deep and resounding, and anthems to uplift and inspire, as well as features by up-and-coming Réunion island artist Melanie and the Palenque-based folk/hip-hop band Kombilesa Mi.

In the Americas, Ghetto Kumbé has become one of the most important alternative groups to come out of Colombia. They’ve played Barranquilla’s world famous Carnival, Bogotá’s recent Boiler Room, and have even opened for Radiohead. The ancient yet modern sound of the three powerful musicians has made them a legitimate representative of the new Afro-House scene burgeoning all over the world.

A realm of wild darkness and tranquilizing light, Liquid Bloom and TRIBONE’s ‘Interbeing’ explores the inextricably-bound forces of the musical universe through six mystifying tracks drawn from the lands of worldly downtempo, tribal bass, and driving psychedelic electronica.

Inspired by the fast-paced soundscapes of the global dance floor, the original ‘Interbeing’ mix unleashes a barrage of mid-tempo beats overlaid with primal energy and supported by a haunting psychedelic undercurrent that resounds through each track in the EP collection. 

Without slowing down, Liquid Bloom and TRIBONE bring additional space to Interbeing’s dark atmospheres with their hypnotic and tactile “Deep Tech Mix,” while producer-duo 'Jakare' provides a tantalizing tribal house remix flavored with additions of charango and pan flute.

Maintaining the psychedelic edge of the original composition, British psybass producer 'Sigil' draws listeners into a twisted breakbeat journey that plunges deeper into the original’s shadowy tones. 

Taking a more luminous path, 'Kaya Project' guides his rendition toward uplifting territory with his signature world-fusion style, introducing stirring organic beats, seraphic vocal samples, and a soothing blend of synths and instrumentation to draw out Interbeing’s brighter elements.
