We are happy to announce our first vinyl project with the label Rio Doce Piedade Mix, The Arrecifes compilation • Sonido Pernambucano • Compiled by Dj, Producer and label owner from Olinda, Pedrosa Dj. The labels name refer to a river very known by us at Tropical Diaspora® Records. The same Rio Doce that give the Title of Ska Maria Pastora master piece Album “As Margens Do Rio Doce” being released by Tropical Diaspora® Records this year in a final cut remastered version on heavyweight purple Vinyl. Following the narrative in Ska Maria Pastora Album release edited by Dj Dr.Sócrates, the Arrecifes Compilation bring a selection of songs that show us how the destinies of the peoples of the Global South intersect in different rhythms, which become anthems of true internationalism and strong vacal messages building another Tropical Diaspora® Records socially responsible dance–floor compilation. So Tropical Diaspora® Records is committed to create a musical narrative about the people who crossed the Atlantic from Africa to the Americas, the encounter with the oringinary people and gave rise to cultural expressions that reflect both the horror and hope of that experience. As we carry out our musical research, we come face to face with the question of how to address the cultural life of communities that have been dispossessed for many centuries. Ways of looking and narratives need to be handed back, as we observe with sadness how mainstream recording companies are still in the business of taking advantage of, expropriating the cultural heritage of Africa and the Americas.
