UK three disc two CDs + PAL/Region 0 DVD. Filmmakers 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 it's own unique style of music and language, heavily influenced by it's 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 flavors. Once back home they enlisted a select number of likeminded Electronic, House and Dubstep artists to produce a host of remixes, including Osunlade, Matias Aguayo, Kromestar and others to interpret the original works. This set includes the DVD, a CD featuring original music and a CD of the remixes. It comes in a stunning three case box set with sleeve notes about the project, the history of Palenque, and exclusive photography. SoulJazz.
