Facts about the record

The music is recorded and engineered from the natural sounds of the Chacocente Wild Reserve on the Pacific coast of Nicaragua.  The physical record is manufactured with a sustainable injection molding process, resulting in 100% recycled materials and up to 60% energy savings compared to a traditional vinyl record. The record has 2 sides: 1 is “shamanic chill” and the other is “jungle techno”. The artists want to remain unknown.

Why the record was produced

In playa Chacocente, once a month thousands of turtles come and lay their eggs. This natural phenomenon, called “arribada”, is threatened by egg poachers who steal the eggs and sell them for usd $30 / nest. 
This interdisciplinary sound tells the story of the arribadas from the lense of our Brigada Ecologica (environmental youth group) who collaborates with MARENA (Nicaraguan ministry of environment) to protect the turtles by conducting beach patrols, scientific research, management of turtle nurseries, beach cleanups and providing ecology education to local students.
In Christmas 2021, 200 records were made and sold to raise funds for Casa Congo's ocean conservation programs.
