Asymetrics Mixtape #44 : El Rojo - Ritmos Y Sabor Modernos Pt 2

A few months ago, Malong was invited for a guest mix on Rinse.fr for the "Diggers' of the Lost Ark" show hosted by Nanga Boko Records' Armand de Preseau.

For the occasion, he put together a selection of all vinyl rare cuts from Panama, with the idea to showcase many different genres from the Isthmus' golden era, the 1950s to 1970's !

The Asymetrics are thrilled to share the replay - put your headphones on and get ready for a blast from the past !

Malong - Panama Caliente

For the Asymetrics' 45th mixtape installment, we have the pleasure to host none other than Criztoz. the unstoppable DJ behind the 45 Day movement !

After a recent visit to Panama to launch the Isthmus' first We❤️45s event alongside Malong and a whole lot of local 45ers, Criztoz realized he had, by pure coincidence, picked up precisely forty-five 45s of many genres on his journey.
This highly symbolic mix features all of these... also, noticed how 45 x 45 = 2025 :-) ? And because we are obsessed with this magic number, we are uploading this on March 15th ( cause, you know, 15x03 =45 !) - Push the volume up and get ready for a trip !

As far back as the 1960s, there was a thriving recording industry in Angola. The largest record company of colonial ruler Portugal, Valentim de Carvalho, set up a pressing plant in Luanda and officially pressed licensed repertoire from labels like CBS and EMI. 

Urban Angolan music from the 1970s was made for a populace in revolt. It is a heady, rhythmic sound that swings with the recognizable semba (which draws from the same rhythms as the Brazilian samba) as often as it does with the Angolan merengue. It can jump into uncharted frenetic realms that are a unique mixture of local rhythms like rebita and semba, imported rhythms like samba and merengue, and rumba from neighboring Congolese tribes. (Egon / Stones Throw on npr.org).

We have humbly tried to reproduce this rich musical effervescence in this mix. 1h 21min made strictly of Angolan original 7inches carefully digged by our man DJ Afrosider Look. We carefully chose some of the  best tunes from labels that existed before Angola's independence (Rebita and Ngola, circa 1972-1976) and its brutal civil war (CDA and Merengue, circa 1975-1977).
