Llorona Records presenta Plumas EP de Biomigrant

Michael Wagner más conocido como Biomigrant cruzó Centroamérica desde Estados Unidos en bicicleta y llegó a Colombia para quedarse, por lo menos por ahora que su alma nómada le dice que este es el lugar donde su música florece.

Así con calma, paciencia y perseverancia, como observando el mundo desde la bicicleta, Biomigrant se ha dedicado a escuchar, aprender, grabar y llevar a su universo de música electrónica los sonidos que son el alma de Latinoamérica. La música conecta y transforma, nos permite contar la historia desde la inocencia del baile, el gozo, el encuentro y a eso suena Plumas EP, a descubrir un secreto bien guardado y hacerlo propio para sumarse a una voz colectiva.

Plumas EP nace de dos encuentros inesperados en el Caribe Colombiano. El primero en el Aviario Nacional de Colombia en Barú en donde Biomigrant realizó una residencia artística para registrar el canto de los pájaros infinitos de este santuario y el segundo de conocer a Juan Bertel ´Pampei´, uno de los pocos interpretes de Arco de Boca que quedan en la región.

La experiencia en el Aviario dejó una biblioteca de cantos de pájaros y la canción que le da el nombre el lanzamiento ´Plumas´ y las historias de ´Pampei´ y el sonido hipnótico del Arco de boca la segunda canción ´Pampei y los pájaros´.

Las dos canciones cuentan con videoclips hechos en stopmotion. El video de ‘Plumas’ fue realizado completamente de plastilina por Imagu Lab, una productora audiovisual Venezolana con base en Bogotá, lo de ‘Pampei’ fue realizado enteramente de papel por Yuyarikuna Films, un estudio de animación Colombiano con base en Buenos Aires. Los dos videos resaltan la magia siempre presente tras la cotidianidad de las tierras caribeñas Colombianas.

Llorona Records presents the ‘Plumas’ (Feathers) EP of Biomigrant

Michael Wagner, better known as Biomigrant, crossed Central America from the US in bicycle and arrived to Colombia to stay, at least for now, as his nomadic spirit tells him it is the place where his music blooms.

And so, with calm, patience, and perseverance, like watching the world from a bicycle, Biomigrant has dedicated himself to listen, learn, record, and bring into his universe of electronic music the sounds that form the heart of Latin America. Music connects and transforms, a medium to share stories from the innocence of dance, joy, and gatherings, and that’s what the Plumas EP sounds like, discovering a well-kept secret and making it our own to join a collective voice.

The Plumas Ep is born from two unexpected encounters in the Colombian Caribbean. The first, in the National Aviary of Colombia en Barú, in an artist residency where Biomigrant recorded the songs of the immense diversity of birds in the sanctuary, and the second when he met Juan Bertel ‘Pampei’, one of the few remaining musicians who play the Arco de Boca (Mouth Bow) in the region.

The experience in the aviary led to the creation of a sound library of birdsong and the track that gives its name to the release, ‘Plumas’, while the stories of Pampei and the hypnotic sound of the Arco de Boca sparked the second song, ‘Pampei y los Pájaros’ (Pampei and the birds).

The two songs are accompanied by stop motion music videos. The video for ‘Plumas’ was created entirely through claymation by Imagu Lab, a Venezuelan audiovisual studio based in Bogotá. The ‘Pampei’ video was made entirely from paper by Yuyarikuna Films, a Colombian animation studio based in Buenos Aires. The two videos show a glimpse of the sense of magic always present behind everyday life in the Caribbean territory of Colombia.

"On his visit to Kinshasa James Brown dubbed him *Mister Dynamite*"  

It has been a struggle to lay hands on Verckys, although the man doesn´t go unnoticed. Notorious for being one of Congo´s most ruthless business men, the legendary musician had build a whole imperium in Kinshasa, the capital city of the central african power house (arguably one of the toughest places in the world) and has a whole building with his name, in the very heart of the city.

So I travelled to the Congo in June of 2013 to find Verckys only to find out that he headed in opposite direction to sort out his health issues. But I did meet his manager who gave me his phone number, so I called:  "Oh Monsieur Samy, we need to met, lets talk business", he said, probably not knowing that I was an independent record label, with all it represents.  But the more I spoke to the men the more I realised that he was genuinely interested in music more then anything else. The following message I received few weeks ago, confirmed my feeling:

"Samy, I am writing to you because I´m a little worried. I´ve been thinking about your selection and I now wonder if your compilation will do well due to the fact that the chosen songs had little impact in Kinshasa. Others had much more success"

I was surprised but pleased to see that he cared about the project although I had already paid him in full. But why wouldn't he? Its his music after all.

"Most of the songs you´ve selected were recorded in Nairobi, for the Kenyan market. These songs did very well there, also in Zambia, but here in the Congo they flopped...except for "Ya Nini", that was a monster hit. Still, I am very surprised you´ve mentioned it has become a legendary track in Colombia, positively surprised"

This compilation was supposed to be released in October as a limited edition of 2000 copies, but after a few Skype chats with Verckys, seeing that he has come to terms with his health issues, and pushing for a European tour come next summer, we´ve decided to release this as Analog Africa No.17 which is now going to see light of day first week of December. 

In the mean time enjoy this incredible slice of "Congolese AfroFunk", probably one of the best coming out of the continent. "Cheka Sana" has become one of the most sought after 7inch singles around (the B side is killer as well). Collectors and diggers offering crazy sums for it (I don't even dare to mention the sum here). It deserves to be heard by more then just a handful....and it should set fire to many dancefloors around the globe.

Be so kind and leave a comment in the soundcloud. I will forward all of them to Verckys himself as an encouragements to come back stronger !!! 
Thank you for reading.
