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.

skating 2 177 bpm take 1 3125

Press Release:

At last, fresh installments in our acclaimed much-loved singles series: open-hearted, bittersweet, Afro-tropical, mash-up postcards from all over the world, pictures to the here and now. As always Electronico Afrotropicalismo carries the swing. We’ve managed to identify KUPPO in the forgotten jungle of Santa Lucia, intoxicated by exotic cocktails and beautiful women! Carried him in the studio to perform his “Principe De Plata Y Oro” Afro-Tribal Tech alter-ego, full of groove and positive vibes while LARRY SKG, a Lobo Fuerte gentleman of the modern Cumbia/Ghetto-Latin electrotropicalismo, was caught in a Greek mysterious island playing chess with a caretta- caretta and was forced to end up with a slow motion hypnotic n' exotic Broken Samba retaining the haunting yet beautiful melancholia of a faded Summer! 

Dash Selektor - Afro Horror (Larry SKG Broken Samba Remix)

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!

“1. COMO QUISIERA DECIRTE” algo que llevo aquí dentro clavado como una espina, en mi mente siempre la idea de “2. QUE QUIERES DE MI” junto a mi volviendo, no sé porque sabiendo que mataste mi cariño y “3. EL PERDON” no lo doy yo por que también falle ante los problemas porque “4. POR TUS ERRORES” y los míos se desvaneció lo nuestro no quedando tal vez nada solo el gran amor que será un gran recuerdo, en algún momento “5. SIN TU AMOR” no pude vivir en paz pero te quiero y puedo quererte sin tenerte con la cicatriz siempre en mi pecho, un claro obscuro que siempre llevare marcado y si alguna vez me dije que “6. ESTOY LOCO” por aferrarme a tenerte aunque sea en mi mente que mi mal no tenía cura sin ti era solo una perdición para mí, solo me queda que fuiste mi delirio y pensé que “7. SOY TU DELIRIO” de amor que nos tuvimos. Si alguna vez fui “8. UN RATON” en la relación pues así me sentía, solo me queda el alguna vez “9. BESARTE” con la pasión que te merecías y en mi corazón mi vida queda este amor que quedó ya dormido entre los dos “10.CHAN CHAN”.

Original song “Mana Fatita” by Duo Ouro Negro (Angola)
play.spotify.com/track/4k4LjhQxBZHItNE7qXTEcV

@rockymarsiano's first album, Meu Kamba, felt like the very natural, spontaneous reaction between a serious hip hop head, an MPC and a deep collection of Lusophone African records. Upon its release the album immediately drew loads of attention, and Rocky Marsiano quickly hit the road across Europe.

Performing as a sound system with musicians naturally led Rocky Marsiano towards this second volume, which follows a very different approach:

"Meu Kamba was made very impulsively - if I felt a track worked, if there was a good balance to it, I didn't go much further with the production because I wanted it to sound raw.

On this new volume I did exactly the opposite: every single track was experimented on, its possibilities tested. So this time around there's a lot more production on every track: bass lines, retro synths, guitar licks, extra vocals, different drum patterns and textures...

It took almost two years to pick the original songs reinterpreted here. Months of a musical journey which led towards a lot of music and influences from Guinea Bissau, which wasn't a part of the first Meu Kamba. "With this second volume I want to close the cycle, finish a story: my hommage to music from Lusophone Africa."

Rocky Marsiano - "Ué Lé Lé" feat. Bruce James
