We are excited to share the online premiere of La Retreta Mayor's big jazz funk sound on "Liquido Elemento". Taken from the forthcoming compilation 'Color De Trópico Vol II' on El Palmas.

In 1976 La Retreta Mayor released their only album. Self-titled, it remains a  touchstone for Venezuelan funky jazz. The band was founded and led by musician and composer, Alex Rodriguez, who would follow this album two years later with the now much sought after, "Busqueda". 

'Color De Trópico Vol II' follows on from the first volume on El Palmas. Music from the golden age of Venezuela's music recording industry in the 60s and 70s. From the llanera folk music of Anselmo y su Conjunto through to Orquesta La Playa's grandiose Afro roots big band sound and Mario y Sus Diamantes's quirky organ-led cumbia.

From under-the-radar covers of Desmond Decker and Fela Kuti to the holy grail psychedelic jazz of Almendra, this compilation serves as further proof of the rich musical wealth and diversity that Venezuela could produce.  

Lovingly compiled by El Drágon Criollo, of Contento and Acid Coco, and El Palmas boss, Maurice Aymard, and remastered and cut by the ever-reliable Frank Merritt at The Carvery. 'Color De Trópico Vol II' is released on May 14 on vinyl and all digital channels.  The previous volume sold out fast so don't sleep on this one.

"This mix gave me the opportunity to explore my vaults of ambient and dance music, tangentially related to the more song-oriented world of my album Fragmenta. My artistic intention is to create a space in which one can both move and meditate." - @rioux

As the name suggests, 'Fire Burning When We Are' is a lusty, slow-burning track that unfolds into a soundscape journey across a pattering house line. "We got to the studio after a long tour and you can really hear that we were inspired by our travels, watching the world from the planes and cars," the Polish duo explain about the creative thought behind the EP. "Lots of analog synths, 909 drums and analog bass. It's very emotional and powerful." Out on May 22 on Watergate Records.
