Duration: 4 min 13 s
Description: new banger by KEvin florez the busy twist and Palenque Records

A year after his last album, “NO VISA,” the globetrotting, genre-hopping DJ and producer Captain Planet returns to the airwaves with another burst of unabashed positivity, this time teaming up with the Colombian superstar Kevin Florez. "Borracho Bailando Champeta" is a stylistic homage to the genre Champeta, which fuses African music with indigenous Colombian sounds like Cumbia and Bullerengue and incorporates Caribbean influences like Reggae and Dancehall. Originating in San Basilio de Palenque, Colombia (the first free town for liberated African slaves in the Americas) in the 1970s, the style continues to thrive around the Caribbean coast, inspiring a younger generation of musicians such as Florez, aka The Young King of Champeta. Composed and recorded in the two artists’ respective Covid cocoons in Cartagena and Los Angeles, "Borracho Bailando Champeta" is ready to close out a Summer of parties, dancing, and all-around good vibes.

"Borracho Bailando Champeta" is out on Bastard Jazz in August.

Tu Veras Si Me Crees

PALENQUE RECORDS is a label specialized in Afro-Colombian music, founded in 1998 in Paris France, by Lucas Silva Dj Champeta-Man. Since then, we have released many records and we have changed the face of afro-colombian music, with a fusion of modern and traditional sounds. Our releases go from the very traditional genres of music, until the most modern and afro -electro beats, covering all ranges of black colombian music.

In 1996, Lucas Silva  decided thus to create the Palenque Records label (called like this in homage to the village of San Basilio de Palenque), with the objective of making known the size of popular afro-Colombian music, which struggles in the poverty of everyday, and in the indifference of the media, too busy with other products "more commercial". Our first musical production was the Cd "CHAMPETA CRIOLLA, NEW AFRICAN MUSIC FROM COLOMBIA" (Palenque Records - Night & Day), published in October 98. It was the first time that this music was released abroad, and this compilation revealed to the world this unexpected musical movement.

In 1999 we published two new albums : "Champeta Criolla Vol 2 : Visionary Black Music from Underground Colombiafrica (Palenque Records - Night & Day), then "Sexteto Tabalá: Kings of Son Palenquero" (Buda records - Universal). Each album is the result of a long work of musical production and investigation, and is accompanied by a booklet written by myself, in which I give an account of all the investigations and the field work that I carried out, the whole presented in a modern, narrative and personal way.
The disc "Batata & his Rumba Palenquera - Radio Bakongo", was launched by the German label Network in April 2003. It was very well accepted by critics in Europe and in the United States. It was classified among the 50 best discs of World Music of all times by the English Review Song Lines, and one of the best discs of the year by the American review Latin Beat.

Unfortunately, in January 2004, Paulino Salgado died in Bogota, at 78 years old. "Radio Bakongo" is his only disc in solo, and it will remain for the generations to come like the musical testament from an exceptional artist.

In 2007, we released a new album, COLOMBIAFRICA THE MYSTIC ORCHESTRA, together with WORLD MUSIC NETWORK label(UK). Until today I thus realeased 11 discs of afro-Colombian music. Many magazines and other media of Europe, United States and Colombia, made heard about this musical work, with very positive critics.
The afro-Colombian culture is a cultural exception. Musicians and popular artists of my country are genius creators, but a few believe in them. For this reason it is advisable to impel a musical movement around their talent, to support and create an artistic movement of independent compositors who can build this future.

Our latets Releases are : PALENQUE PALENQUE (SOUNDWAY -PALENQUE RECORDS) , SEXTETO TABALA "CON UN SOLO PIE", FARAON BANTU VYNIL, together with CHUSMA RECORDS - GERMANY..and many more to come

Waite for more news over here , and lots of NEW RELEASES TO COME!!
