ABOUT THIS ITEM

Film-makers Santiago Posada and Simon Meija arrived at Palenque, near the Caribbean coast of Colombia to record the music of the area and to make a documentary film about the people of Palenque.

Palenque is a central location for Afro-Colombian culture - the location of the first free slave (or Maroon) community in the Americas. With its own unique style of music and language, heavily influenced by its African heritage, it holds a unique position and is today proclaimed by UNESCO as a Masterpiece Of The Oral And Intangible Heritage Of Humanity.

The filmmakers built a studio in the town in order to record the highly percussive roots music that mixes African and Latin in equal flavours. Once back home they enlisted a select number of likeminded electronic, house and dubstup artists to produce a host of remixes, including Osunlade, Matias Aguayo, Kromestar and others to interpret the original works.
