1st Single of compilation "Saturno 2000 - La Rebajada de Los Sonideros 1962 - 1983"

In 2010, I had asked Eamon Ore-Giron - aka DJ Lengua - if he would be interested in compiling a Latin project for Analog Africa, and if so, if he had a theme in mind. He replied, “Have you ever heard of rebajada?“ The question mark above my head, together with the wall of China, must have been the only other object visible from out of space because Eamon, probably noticing I got paralysed, continued, “Rebajada in Spanish means “to reduce, to lower”. It’s basically Mexican sonideros (sound-system operators) slowing down the beat of a Cumbia to create a much more tangible music to dance to. I’ll send you a mix I made last year and let me know what you think.“ And so he did.

That mix was called Rebajada Mota Mix and I began listening to it on a loop. Although I was not immediately hooked it was intriguing from the get-go, and so I kept listening until magic began unfolding. Slowed down music allows you enough time to hear right through it, revealing itself in ways I had rarely experienced before. Everything became more transparent and I was noticing sounds normally only perceptible by bats. A near psychedelic experience. That mysterious mix included a few Ecuadorian songs by Junior y su Equipo - aka Polibio Mayorga (a cult figure in the sonidero scene), a couple of Mexican tunes, one Colombian, and various Peruvian songs, undoubtedly the driving force behind this project.

The sonidero who brought Peruvian and Ecuadorian music to Mexico was the legendary Pablo Perea from Sonido Arco-Iris, and although his fingerprints are all over the compilation Saturno 2000, this selection of songs in rebajada is exclusive to DJ Lengua. With the exception of a few classics from Polibio Mayorga and La Sampuesana – the queen of all rebajadas – most of these songs were probably never performed as such before, let alone released. 

So how did rebajada come to be? In a nutshell; Rebajada started with two families of brothers – the Pereas and the Ortegas – who travelled all over Latin America and returned to Mexico with heavy loads of records which they would sell to the various sonideros always on the lookout for new tunes. Colombian beats especially seemed to fit almost perfectly with the Mexican dance steps – but they were just a bit too fast. As a result some sonideros began experimenting with equipment, and Marco Antonio Cedillo of Sonido Imperial created a revolutionary pitching system that could slow records down to an extent other players could only dream about. And so rebajada was born . . . or so we thought. 

At the same time in north of the country, in Monterrey, sonidero Gabriel Dueñez almost got electrocuted by a short circuit that nearly set his record player on fire. As a result the platter started spinning in slow motion for the rest of the party, turning Cumbia into a different affair altogether. The youngsters went crazy for it and started harassing the sonidero with requests to record cassettes for them. Reluctant at first, Dueñez finally began recording a series of pirated cassettes called “Rebajada” which included mainly Colombian cumbia and porro in slow-mo exclusively. Those tapes took the city by storm and turned rebajada into a celebrated and defiant movement of the youth. 

Of course it would not be a Mexican urban legend if it didn’t include dramaturgical elements, and so for nearly 30 years, until this day and probably for ever, both cities have been arguing and claiming ownership the creation of rebajada for themselves. But sonidera Joyce Musicolor, who never has time for such trivial arguments, got straight to the point: “Rebajada, and the equipment to perform it, is from here [Mexico City] but it was Monterrey that popularised it.“

MERGE – The culmination of a collective of HOUSE MUSIC and its many various genres. Unified by rhythm and dance, magnetized by sounds and vibes; strangers become friends, friends become family. Circles of self-expression form on the dancefloor, where you become the music and the music becomes you. Like the great JACK once said, “HOUSE is a FEELING that no one can understand really unless you’re DEEP into the VIBE of HOUSE” MERGE captures this feeling with its compelling crew of local talent, creating musical journeys for your soul.

For the sake of house, for the love of beats, for the need to dance. We unite, converge….and MERGE.

MERGE: verb \ˈmərj\ : to cause two or more things to come together and become one

Llorona Records and Fondo Acción present: Tio Guachupesito, first single of Canalon de Timbiqui's highly anticipated new record De mar y río to be released in 2019

Nidia Gongora’s legendary roots ensemble Canalón de Timbiquí  brought together three generations of pacific jungle marimba de chonta music masters together for their most ambicious record to date: De mar y río.

Tio Guachupesito written by Antero Agualimpia is an anthem throughout the pacific coast of Colombia, a deep and sweet musical treasure that can be heard amongst afro descendent communities from (north to south) Nuquí to Tumaco. Canalón de Timbiqui’s version takes us to the core of Timbiqui’s religious syncretysm. Lead singer Nidia Gongora’s astonishing opening closes with a mighty statement that serves as a calling for the full ensemble to burst into an enchanting roots music celebration: 

En el cielo pintan santos, yo también quiero pintar
Pintaron un santo negro y hoy lo vamo' a celebrar

(Saints are being painted, I want to paint too
A black saint was finally painted and we are going to celebrate)

ESPAÑOL

Llorona Records y Fondo Acción presentan: Tio Guachupesito, primer sencillo del esperado nuevo disco de  Canalón de Timbiquí  De Mar y Rio, que será lanzado el primer semestre del  2019.

Tio Guachupesito, compuesta por Antero Agualimpia, es un tesoro de la tradición del Pacífico Colombiano con diferentes interpretaciones que se escuchan desde Nuquí hasta Tumaco. En la versión de Canalón de Timbiquí, la canción embruja desde el inicio con la estremecedora voz de Nidia Góngora que, acompañada de la marimba, nos lleva a lo más profundo del misticismo Timbiquireño.

En el cielo pintan santos, yo también quiero pintar
Pintaron un santo negro y hoy lo vamo' a celebrar 

Este verso da entrada al ensamble completo que a ritmo de Aguabajo  nos deja claro porqué el grupo liderado por la cantora es uno de los representantes más respetados de la música de marimba del Pacífico colombiano. Tradición, raíz, selva, mar y río hechos música desde Timbiquí Cauca.

Palenque Records vs. Llorona Records Vol. 1 - 
Son Palenque, Adiós Batata feat. el Leon Pardo (Cerrero dub mix) producido por Lucas Silva y Diego Gómez 

Adiós Batata fue una de las primera canciones que escuché de Son Palenque, una revelación que me introdujo a la música de la mítica agrupación y al trabajo de Lucas Silva con Palenque Records. 

Tener acceso a sus sesiones de grabación originales y a las de otros artistas increíbles que han trabajado con uno de los sellos más grandes de Colombia es un privilegio al que rendimos tributo con esta serie. El plan es hacer Versiones o Dub mixes que presenten estos clásicos a otros públicos y le den un aire nuevo con su fanaticada fiel.

Paulino Salgado, Batata III es considerado por muchos el mejor tambolero de Palenque y la costa Caribe colombiana y sus grabaciones con Toto la Momposina y Palenque Records son obras imprescindibles y visionarias del folclor afro caribeño. Batata falleció en el 2004 y Justo Valdez -líder de Son Palenque- escribió Adiós Batata para despedir y rendir homenaje a uno de sus más importantes maestros. 

Para esta versión convocamos a El León Pardo, prodigio cartagenero de la trompeta, conocido por su trabajo con Velandia y...  more
