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!

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.

Faraon Bantu Soundsystems: The new EP from Faraon Bantu 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!
