Yeahman Feat. Mina & Hajna- Miniyamba (DJ Criswell Remix)

Rhythm and Roots presents ‘A Guide to the Birdsong of South America’, an compilation of music inspired by birdsong and a project fusing art with activism. We challenged some of South America's most talented young musicians to create an original piece of music inspired by and using the song of an endangered bird from their country.

The result is a beautifully diverse and rich album of fresh new music, fusing electronica with natural sound, folkloric rhythms with modern-synthesisers and precious singing with rich instrumentation. Each song tells a story and paints a picture of these magnificent birds.

Using music as a tool for change, 'A Guide to the Birdsong of South America' aims to raise awareness about the plight of these beautiful but threatened species, many of which are on the edge of extinction. It will also raise funds for those working to protect them. All of the proceeds will be donated to the Ecuadorian birding organisations Aves y Conservación and Fundación Jocotoco, two non-governmental organisations with the aim of ensuring the survival of birds and their vital habitat in Ecuador, one of the most rich countries for biodiversity in the world.

The album will be released digitally and on vinyl in March 2015 via Rhythm and Roots. It will be accompanied by a series of one-off illustrations and post-cards from the American designer Scott Partridge.

Thornato - El Oro de la Tolita ft. Grupo Taribo  (The Busy Twist Remix ft. Zongo Abongo)

El español Alejandro Guillán bajo su alias Baiuca, remixó “Ilaló”, una de las canciones más interesantes del último álbum de estudio de Chancha Via Circuito llamado  “Bienaventuranza”, con la colaboración vocal de Mateo Kingman.
Esta versión cuenta con una impronta más electrónica que el original, en clave housera, con un pulso bailable que gira en torno a la voz del ecuatoriano Kingman y una melodía que viene desde Canale y su sensibilidad híbrida que combina dos mundos con envidiable sencillez. Un lujo que nos damos en DJ Mag Latinoamérica.

After diving deep on his latest album "Jallalla", Lagartijeando returns with five killer remixes from friends and fam around the world of some favorites off the LP. Spain's Baiuca goes for a dubby, driving remix of "Milenio" with a bubbling bassline while Wonderwheel favorite El Buho turns "Anoranza En El Yungas" in to a flute driven cumbia stomper. Chile's DJ Raff comes in on "La Frontera" with some slo mo acid vibes, while Ulises takes "Chakana Cosmica" into mid tempo dubby tech house range. Lastly Steffen Ki (formerly Steffen Kirchhoff) turns "Villazon Potosi" into a beautiful ambient touched, understated affair - keeping the original spirit alive while building on percussive elements.

-------------------------------------

"Ramas" (branches in Spanish) is El Búho’s third album of original material and stands for a celebration of the art of collaboration. Featuring 19 collaborations with artists from 12 countries, the album was born organically out of collaborations, mutual appreciation or a desire to experiment and try something new. 

Some of the tracks were started in person, such as "Sky City", born out of a spaghetti-western jam in Thornato’s Queens studio or "Gaviota" inspired by the the seagulls of Brighton following a shared show with Rumbo Tumba in the city. Meanwhile others such as "Elefta" with Hungarian producer Stas or "Kuuma" a track made with Finnish multi-instrumentalist QOSQI were created over long-distance with the producers never actually meeting face to face. The album also contains tracks from long-term friends and collaborators like Chancha Via Circuito, Barda and Wonderwheel head-honcho Nickodemus. 

Musically the album references the blend of Latin American traditional music with original electronic music on tracks such as "Resiliencia" with legendary Chilean producer DJ Raff, an homage to the recent protest movement in Chile, or "Absolut," a track sculpted from an unfinished melodic idea by Argentine electro-folk trio Tremor. Meanwhile songs like "Nevar" and "Kif Kif Kuf Kuf" with Didacte and Kraut, both part of the Shika Shika collective, take El Búho’s sound in a new direction, embracing a more melodic or impactful and rhythmic electronica. 

At its heart of "Ramas" was Perkins’ desire to challenge himself creatively, forcing him to see his own ideas and production style from a different angle or see ideas started in one direction come back completely transformed by the collaborator. The result is at once surprising and diverse but El Búho’s signature sound and aesthetic is the thread that runs through all of the tracks, the trunk to each branch. 

Carrying on the spirit of collaboration, El Búho made an open call for collaborations with dancers & choreographers in his community. Overwhelmed by the response, the album is accompanied by 18 original choreographies by dancers and dance groups from 12 different countries, from Mexico to Taiwan, South Africa or the Galapagos Islands. Each chose the track that most inspired them and shot a video of their dance in a unique and beautiful natural location, in doing so creating yet more ramas or branches for the project.
