Welcome to Club Palenque! The two creative forges Palenque Records (Colombia) & Chusma Records (Berlin) present their new EP �Profesias del Emperador Bant�, featuring five exclusive songs from the musical laboratory that is San Basilio de Palenque. The recipe for this aural cocktail is as simple as it is brilliant: renowned producers and musicians such as Novalima, Quantic, Sergente Garcia, Lucas Silva and Luis Towers have let the musical diversity of Palenque inspire them. The result: a blend of Columbian afrobeat, Caribbean champeta grooves, clubby ghetto bass and African highlife! The Palenque sound has caused quite a stir recently � and Lucas Silva, Palenque Records� producer and mastermind, had something to do with it! Most recently, Silva a.k.a. �El Champetaman� compiled the unique sampler �Palenque, Palenque!�(Soundway), recording and releasing numerous bands from the small north Colombian village. Palenque: the town of 4000 has a proud history to look back on. It is considered the first liberated Afro community in Latin America. The �maroons�, mostly from West Africa, were refractory slave workers and sailors. During the colonial era, they resisted the slave system on Colombia�s plantations and in its mines. San Basilio de Palenque soon became an important site of resistance and a place of refuge for fugitive maroons! In addition to a new language � Palenquero, a mix of Bantu, Spanish, Creole and sailor�s English � a new culture and music developed. Its connection to African culture remains alive to this day. Musically, the Palenque sound goes beyond traditional folklore to include modern sounds. Palenque�s musicians create their very own blend of styles, inspired by secousse, highlife, afrobeat and Afro-Colombian sounds such as cumbia, salsa, son and gaita. Fara�n Bant� Soundsystems: The new EP from Fara�n Bant� Soundsystems (Lucas Silva and his buddy Najle Silva Arana) explores new musical terrain. Palenque�s afrosounds meet the afropop, ghettobass and funkadelik soultribes of Magic System, Quantic and Rigo Star. The limited edition 180 gram vinyl record, complete with an original vintage cover, is a gift to the global community of urban tropical bastards!
