Cerrero - Cuando canto grito feat. Lucía Pulido
Produced, recorded and mixed by Diego Gómez
Mastered by Matt Colton in Alchemy Mastering
Vocals: Lucía Pulido
Guitars: Juan Miguel Sosa
Written by Diego Gómez
Lyrics based on the poem "Las mujeres que cuando cantan" by María Paz Guerrero

Cerrero, navega entre las raíces del sonido colombiano y la producción dubera. En su segunda entrega, Cuando canto grito, parece atravesar cordilleras junto a la voz de Lucía Pulido, la poesía de María Paz Guerrero y la guitarra sutil de Juan Miguel Sosa, creando una atmósfera hipnótica y firmemente afincada en el poderío femenino de los Andes.

Sobre la historia detrás de este nuevo tema, Diego Gómez nos cuenta:
Cuando canto grito es la segunda parte de la colaboración con Lucía Pulido para Cerrero, mi proyecto en solitario. La letra es la adaptación del poema Las mujeres que cuando cantan de María Paz Guerrero, una gran amiga que ha dedicado su vida a la poesía. Aprovechando una corta visita de Lucía a Bogotá, nos reunimos en el estudio a grabar las voces sobre una idea de melodía sencilla que tenía a partir de unas guitarras que había grabado con Juan Miguel Sosa, un gran guitarrista de música popular colombiana. El resto fue subir las partes al sampler y darle forma con la consola. Lo repetitivo, la voz y la palabra, tres poderes.
En la imagen que acompaña a  Cuando canto grito, la artista bogotana Karolina Bebop nos sigue dando pistas sobre el enigmático universo que habita Cerrero, el más reciente proyecto de Llorona Records.

//

Cerrero´s sound blends colombian roots music with electronic aesthetics and dub production techniques. His second single, Cuando canto grito, presents powerful legendary Singer Lucía Pulido performing an adaptation of Las Mujeres que cuando cantan a poem by young colombian Poet María Paz Guerrero. The subtle and intimate guitar, sampled flutes and minimalistic percussion creates an hipnotic track that serves perfectly to the powerful words sung by Lucía. 
Cerrero, brainchild of Llorona Records´ Diego Gómez, keeps releasing previews of the upcoming EP in the making.

Cerrero - Cuando canto grito feat. Lucía Pulido

From the Caboclo EP out on Big In Japan May 11th 2018

Lagartijeando is synonymous with pushing the contemporary Alt-Latin electronic scene forwards along with his contemporaries Nicola Cruz, Cancha Via Circuito and El Buho. Strongly influenced by his travels through Latin America, his signature psychedelic electronic tracks blend everything from traditional folk from the Bolivian alti-plano to the jungle beats of Brazil. 

Since signing to ZZK records (Nicola Cruz, Cancha Via Circuito) in 2009 he has gone on to release on Waxploitation (Gnarles Barkley, Dangermouse) and Wonderwheel Recordings (Nickodemus, El Buho) where his latest album entered the Bandcamp top 100 albums of 2017. Renowned for beautiful textures and layers in his production work, Lagartijeando has garnered support from the likes of The Fader, Remezcla, KCRW, NPR and many others. 

Caboclo is Portuguese for a person with mixed indigenous Brazilian and European ancestry. The three track EP meshes Afro-Brazilian rhythms with Chacarera and house beats. The EP is a celebration of the changing cultures and sounds of Latin America.

Lagartijeando - Malandro De Boa

For Quilombo do Futuro Remixed, Maga Bo called upon the talents of a select team of top notch producers haling from several different continents.  The original tracks united the organic subtleties of the Afro-Brazilian rhythms coco, maculelê, samba, jongo and capoeira with the punchy, powerful, electronic based sounds of dub, raga, hip hop and dubstep.  Batucada and bass, mids, treble.  TUDO.  The remixes take the tracks even further….

Frikstailers deliver a monster digital cumbia remix.  Uproot Andy comes with a crunk, bullerengue samba reggae.  Subatomic Sound System brings a hypnotic dub rework.  Stereotyp's remix is a spooky, frantic burst of barefoot energy.  El Remolon takes baile funk into trance cumbia dub territory.  Sabo brings a sunny, uplifting vibe for the dance floor.  Dr. Das injects noise and grit with a deep, deep bassline.  Process Rebel treats coco to warm distortion and spacious reverb.  Dub Gabriel offsets hard, one-drop dub and samba with political commentary on immigration.  Digitaldubs drops a raw, dirty bass and rapid-fire funk programming.  DJ Dolores' new project Stank, comes with a frantic, dubbed out samba reggae.  Poirier goes deep on his tranced out jongo rework.  Batida connects the dots between samba and kuduro with vocals straight from Angolan MC Sacerdote.  Leo Justi adds a hard electro-funk edge.  Copia Doble Systema vs. Dixon transform ragga cumbia into hypnotic electronic tumbao.  Buguinha drops a pair of smoky live dub mixes while Chancha Via Circuito offers a smooth trip hop take on coco.

A quilombo was an autonomous, fugitive settlement founded by ex-slaves and others in colonial brazil.  The Quilombo do Futuro is more than a possible physical space.  It is a potential world-wide agglomeration of cultural resistance.  After centuries of wealth generated by an economy built on slavery (and the subsequent post-abolition adaptations), the Quilombo do Futuro is a break from this legacy.  Fortified by an international community based on plurality, inclusive democracy and direct communication, cultural resistance is paramount in creating a sustainable, healthy existence in the face of world-wide corporate domination.  

Born in the United States and based in Rio de Janeiro since 1999, Maga Bo has collaborated with Mulatu Astatke, Issa Bagayogo, Bollywood star Shilpa Rao, BaianaSystem as well as releasing critically acclaimed remixes for Poirier, Luisa Maita, Filastine, Blick Bassy and Bomba Estéreo.  His music and remixes have been released on Tru-Thoughts, Ninja Tune, Cumbancha, Dutty Artz, World Connection and many others.  Among his many international tours, he has performed at the Sydney Festival, WOMEX, Club Transmediale and Mundial.

Manati - Libre Y Feliz. From Nauta EP, out now! 🌞

una re-version del clasico Fox Incaico, Rosas Y Espinas, interpretado por el Conjunto CAIFE. 

Este edit fue hecho en el 2015, y ha estado guardado en el baúl desde entonces. Ahora, celebrando nuestra alianza con Honest Jon's, empiezan a salir estas joyitas.

Conjunto CAIFE - Rosas Y Espinas (fox Incaico) [Quixosis edit]

“Speaker-bangin’ before all else” (XLR8R) with “some of the smartest ears in the game” (Chicago Reader), “few can make a room explode like Maga Bo” (Flavorpill). A purveyor of “international sonic weaponry and rhythm knowledge” (Rough Trade), the Rio de Janeiro-based DJ/producer is a veteran pioneer of global bass music, with 20+ years of dedicated experience searching out unheralded music bumping from speaker-boxes in the world’s grittiest corners, from Addis Ababa to Zanzibar. 

Maga Bo’s sophisticated approach to international sounds comes from in-person, on-site collaboration with other artists. He has worked on location in Morocco, India, Ethiopia, Senegal, Zanzibar, and South Africa, to name just a few, while delving into a whirlwind of local styles: chaâbi, asmari music, taraab, manganiyar folk music, masqanda, and mbalax. All instruments and vocals come straight from the source. His original riddims and recordings, enriched by the presence of live vocalists and percussion, and enhanced by the philosophies of hip-hop and dub, take the global bass DJ set to a new level, one driven by first-hand experience searching open-air markets instead of just searching the web. 

His current work explores the contours of Afro-Brazilian culture and includes collaborations with the brightest talents in Brazil’s vast musical landscape. An immigrant himself, Maga Bo put down roots in his adopted hometown of Rio -- a cultural melting pot like no other where he has produced baile funk MCs and played drums in his neighborhood samba school. Journeys to Brazil’s northeast region have resulted in recording sessions with unsung folklore heroes Grupo Bongar and Samba de Coco Raízes de Arcoverde. 

A globally in-demand performer, Maga Bo has graced stages from India to Ethiopia to Brazil, at major summer festivals across Europe, and on tour in North America and Australia. He has performed at WOMAD UK, WorldWide, Sydney Festival, WOMEX, Transmediale and Mundial. He’s collaborated with Buraka Som Sistema’s Kalaf, Max Normala aka Ninja of South African rap-rave outfit Die Antwood, Ethio-Jazz godfather Mulatu Astatke, Bollywood star Shilpa Rao, and Brazilian chart toppers BaianaSystem and BNegão, and released critically acclaimed remixes for Asian Dub Foundation, Batida, Bomba Estéreo, Poirier, Filastine, and Systema Solar. 

Maga Bo’s groundbreaking debut full-length album, Archipelagoes, was released on DJ /rupture's Soot Records in 2008 after recording sessions in Senegal, Tanzania, Morocco and South Africa with heavyweight local rappers and musicians. His second full-length, Quilombo do Futuro, landed at #1 on the iTunes Brazilian music chart and #1 on the Rhapsody world music album of the year. The album was lauded by the New York Times as “a cultural manifesto riding on rhythm” and by National Public Radio (NPR) as “defin[ing] a kind of virtual refuge for traditional culture, giving it a welcome place in the techy global music soundscape of the 21st century." 

His track, ”No Balanço da Canoa,” garnered over half a million views on Youtube and was featured in Grand Theft Auto V and the opening ceremony of the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. He’s released music on Jarring Effects, Tru-Thoughts, Ninja Tune, Sound Way, ZZK, Cumbancha and many others. 

He currently releases confrontational, bass-heavy digital roots music from all over Brazil on Kaxambu Records and is an integrant of the live tropical-electro soundsystem band, Sociedade Recreativa. 

Having performed and worked in over 50 countries, Maga Bo walks the walk of the real globalization. Music is the weapon in a world of cultural appropriation, wide-spread poverty and mass migrations.
