Names You Can Trust presents the debut vinyl release from Romperayo, a new band led by drummer Pedro Ojeda (Los Pirañas, Frente Cumbiero, Ondatrópica). Further expanding the burgeoning live music scene of Bogotá, Colombia and featuring many of the same talented family of musicians, Romperayo similarly takes its musical cues from Colombia's rich musical history. These recordings dive deep into the country's coastal traditions with a unique present day twist via the inspired percussion of bandleader Ojeda, a melting pot of rhythms played with his own manic flare and style.

El Busetero Buscapleitos is deeply inspired by the rhythms and textures that made their way through the Caribbean and into the local picos (sound systems). A nod to musical outfits of the 1970's such as Wganda Kenya & Son Palenque, the song is a mixture of styles from West Africa, Trinidad and Haiti married with popular Colombian rhythms of the Caribbean coast like cumbia and chandé.

Que Viva La Vida y Que Muera La Muerte derives from the other coastal region of Colombia, the Pacific. Inspired by the Afro-Colombian form curralao, traditionally played with wooden drums, shakers & a marimba, it is here updated and electrified in a stripped down tribute to the grand orchestra of Peregoyo y su Combo.


Recorded in Audiovision Studios, Bogotá.
Mixed by Eblis Alvarez at Isaac Newton Studios.
Mastered by Frank at The Carvery, London.

Composed & Arranged by Pedro Ojeda.

MCT-04 - Xanga - Barrios of Colombia

Press Release:

Deela the man that shirts are blinding is back! As then, Cumbia carries the swing. This single is full of the ghost: ghost- lovers, ghost souls and especially ghost cumbia's. For Deela, the ghost is able to see, to pine and to travel. His body, transformed, wander high seas, disturbed graves, dangerous cities. Clutching guns, cigarettes, buttocks and angels, characters stumble through an indifferent world. In these nonrepresentational places (places a lot like Curacao, Veracruz, Colombia, Peru) the world is bad, dirty and groovy. Yet there is also desire. Yearning is repeatedly-signaled by the color red, a fecund backdrop for many scenes: Mecaya river, red water, red swamp snake, red blood, red coffins. Deela's music, hypnotic, exotic, strives for sensual death while Cocotaxi and Larry SKG left behind Tropicana nights for a pure stylish “Dembow in outta space” elixir......the Ghost of Cumbia is here.....the best are yet to come!

Through 18 diverse tracks, this compilation offers a timely revelation of how immigration to Europe and the United States from the Cape Verde Islands in the 1980s gave us an alternate history of electronic music, almost a decade ahead of its time, as traditional Funana rhythms met the synthesizer.
