The Rigodonians presentan "Cuban Añejo"

Aquell dia vam arribar a l'Havana i entre mojitos, suors i converses sobre la memòria guajira no ens resistim de rebuscar vinils que documentessin un petitíssim tros de la història musical de la perla del carib. 
Aquest és el nostre petit homenatge a Cuba, registrat en clau de són, latin jazz, guaracha, calypso, bachata i altres gèneres tan propis i ocults per les orelles occidentals com la samba-cha, el wawa o el yé yé crioll.

All Kind Of Style (Legal Shot dubplates mix)

7" available now from www.sofrito.co.uk

Originally from the island of Boa Vista, Abel Lima was part of a large wave of Cape Verdean migration to Europe in the late 60s – fleeing the political turmoil that accompanied the end of Portuguese colonial rule. Settling in Paris, he recorded several albums with ‘Les Sofas’ a multinational group featuring musicians from France, Senegal, Cameroon, Angola and Guadeloupe.

Arranged by Camerounian star Eko Roosevelt Louis, Corre Riba Corre Baxo (what goes up must come down) is taken from the 1977 album ‘Cantam nos Bida‘ and combines a rock-solid bassline with a hypnotic guitar riff.

Nos Maos – arranged by Guadeloupean pianist Roland Louis – has more of a Caribbean feel, bringing elements of Cadence in to the mix. The politically-charged lyrics – half in French and half in Portuguese – deal with European complicity in economic and social problems in the developing world

Combining the Morna and Coladera styles of Cape Verde with Jazz, Cadence, disco and West African styles, Abel Lima’s output reflected the rich mixture of musical styles and cultures that was (and still is) present in Paris. Both tracks are dancefloor classics.

En 2011 comienza una nueva aventura con el vinilo como protagonista. Un proyecto titulado "The Rigodonians" que lleva como seña de identidad la leyenda "... la vuelta al mundo en 80 discos". Un selector, un presentador y dos colecciones de discos diversas que navegan en el ayer y el hoy de la música con calidad escondida en las más inverosímiles cajoneras de tiendas, mercadillos y cabinas de dj abandonadas. Desde el Funk hasta la Bossa, pasando por Calypso, Rythm & Blues, Cumbia, Northern Soul, Rap, Salsa, Dancehall.. un proyecto espectacular dentro y fuera de la pista de baile.

El 2011 comença una nova aventura amb la música de qualitat com a protagonista. "The Rigodonians": un selector, un presentador i dues col·leccions de discos diverses que naveguen en l'ahir i l'avui de la música amb qualitat amagada en les més inversemblants calaixeres de botigues, mercats i cabines de dj abandonades. Des del Funk fins a la Bossa, passant per Calypso, Rythm & Blues, Cumbia, Northern Soul, Rap, Salsa, Dancehall .. i amb especial atenció als ritmes llatins d'ahir i d'avui.
Un projecte espectacular dins i fora de la pista de ball.
