Love where this journey takes me 🧙‍♂️🥁🌿

ZZK Records  presents “Burka”, the fifth single from Dat Garcia’s new record “Las Fuerzas Almadas”, to be released April 1st 2022.

Fusing music from the Middle East, electronica and hip-hop, “Burka” is a conceptual song in which Dat García plays with raw and direct rap lyrics, expressing a feeling widespread throughout Latin America.

The use of the burka has historically been a political act, from its enforcement to oppress bodies to its use as a symbol to assert rights. Femininities are unleashing the strength built up over centuries of oppression and holding up this symbol as a flag representing the struggle for their freedoms and for the women who are no longer here.

Dat García wants to put a stop to collective apathy, increasingly accentuating the activist side of her musical repertoire. Her songs speak of the violation of human, environmental and political rights, and the discrimination against anything different in general and against women and dissidences in particular.

This single is accompanied by a video in which Dat portrays a woman crucified on a stage, wearing a burka, her whole body covered by the garment except her mouth, with which she tells her story. She takes this main element that Islam uses to hide women as oppressive religious symbolism, with deep respect for those who choose to wear a headscarf, as Simone de Beauvoir did, making it the symbol of their struggle. This work is an exegesis of how religions have been the instruction manual for snuffing out women’s strength and creating patriarchal societies without respect for individual rights, while humanity passively observes, criticizes and comments but does nothing to change it.

“Burka” is out on March 4th 2022 worldwide.

It was in September 2016 that Basy Tropikalne began operating as a netlabel and the first release came in a form of a Latin American compilation. Following the success of that album – which was featured among others by Indie Hoy, Cassette Blog, Sounds and Colours and tropicalbass.com - now it is time for a second installment which brings as many as eighteen previously unreleased tracks by a mixture of already recognized and rising and promising producers from all over the continent.

This massive compilation starts with Cigarra who has been doing an amazing work promoting female producers from Latin America with her work as the manager of Hystereofônica platform. Her uplifting track is followed by extremely talented Di Laif from Guatamela who came up with a deep and ominous composition called ‘Ominous’. Next up are the wonderful minds of Rafa Caivano and Lisandro Sona for whom this may actually be the last song in a long time under the alias of Klik & Frik as their big comeback with the Frikstailers project is planned for the next month. Right after them there are two fellow Argentinians – Maich presents delicate ‘Verde’ with a Caribbean touch whereas Kaleema turns to Africa and focuses her production on field recordings from Kenya.

Another remix and at the same time the longest track on the release comes from Liman producer Renzo Zong who has tried his chances on ‘Niña Salvaje’ by Jorge Mestanza and María Cristina Simon and changed it into something more profound. Subsequent track belongs to Inti Kunza, Santiago de Chile underground legend and one of the La Chimba Discos founders who jumps in with the hypnotizing ‘Peuma’. ‘Balada de Aventurança’, in turn, is delivered by Brazil’s Projeto Mujique who once again proves his skills in mixing the guitar sounds with electronic music.

Moving on we bump into a magical moment of witnessing the first ever collaboration between some of Costa Rica’s finest artists: producer Nillo and vocalist Javier Arce who created a masterpiece titled ‘Lamento de Aïa’. Then we are treated with back-to-back tracks from Buenos Aires-based acts as hard-hitting Camanchaca duo’s ‘Seneca’ is followed by a decent song from Uruguay-born Xanducero (just listen to this wonderful drums in the second part of ‘Aguilucho en mi Ventana’…).

After that there is the fastest track on the whole album with Ecuador’s Ataw Allpa remixing last year’s ‘Candirú’, the effect of collaboration between himself and Brazilian DJ Nirso who also appears on ‘Basy Tropikalne # 2 (Latin America)’ just few tracks further into the release. Brazil is also where ElPeche hails from and his major contribution to the compilation was not only mastering it but also handing over his own composition called ‘Cuicwah’.

‘Daisukidesu’ is a work by Argentina-born Germany-based Kumbale Records founder Pocho who created a kind of cinematic cumbia song sampling anime – hence its Japanese title. Ore Rüb , the name of the next project, may sound mysterious but the producer behind it is no other than Andreh Torres, previously known as Nacho Libre. It is a great honor to present the debut track of his new alias in the Basy Tropikalne release.

Beautiful and melodic ‘Renjasé’ by Mr. Toé of Konn Recordings perfectly introduces the true gem that is hidden at the very end of the compilation. Colombia's Cerrero and El León Pardo once again reinterpreted one of the Afro-Colombian legendary groups to create a magnificent dub remix of a classic song.

This song is inspired by the Senufo people and their rich music and dance culture. 

The Senufo people are an ethnolinguistic group composed of various subgroups, they live in the middle region of the Volta River of Central Africa that includes parts of Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast and Mali. The balafon instrument is a symbol of identity for the community - it's music provides the rhythm for their ritual and festive dances.

48h avant de sortir "Global Control / Invisible Invasion" sur le toujours défricheur label Glitterbeat, le producteur tunisien offre au Grigri un extrait complètement tourneboulant de cet album ovniesque enregistré lors d’un trip de 24 jours dans le sud de l’Inde. Une musique mystique et synthétique dans tous les sens du terme.
