To start the summer on the good foot!

Here is a selection of tracks found in Colombia by My Old Friend Fred Martin while a trip over there on late 2016! The comp’ is focusing on Barranquilla and more specifically on the huge and diverse musical culture of this fantastic port city of northern Colombia, located at the edge of the Caribbean Sea, and famous for his colourful Carnival!

In fact, It also clearly is a tribute to the Picoteros, those Colombian crate-diggers that you’ll find in Barranquilla’s southside. They build those big and great sound system called Pico and they then liven whole neighbourhood to the sound of Cumbia, Porro, Salsa, Guaguancó, Soukous - the Picoteros are huge connoisseur - Champetta, Palenque, traditional Carnival music and more!

We invite you to check out the excellent blog of our friend Fabian Altahona to learn more about this quite unique, genuine and wonderful cultural movemement:

But enough talk, now It is time to press the play button and to remember while listening to this tape that the first thing a Barranquillero will ask you is: “Sabes bailar?”
