Celso Pina X Erick Jaimez & Caballo- Cumbia Vengadora

celso

A complete homage to one of the most important Cumbia masters from the globe:
CELSO PINA, who gave a new meaning to the sampuesana riddim.

Texas cumbia producer: Erick Jaimez teams with Caballo to drop Cumbia Vengadora, a lyrically aggressive track for a convulsive continent in where corruption and dirty politics have pushed the poverty and inequality into the stratosphere.

Lyrics:
Mira Compadre este ritmo pegajoso
Se llama poder el virus contagioso
Lo usa el farsante que manda la nacion
Cobija a sus amigos con toda corrupcion (X2)
Manipula los medios con desinformacion
Pone al pueblo contra la pared
como pescados atrapados en la red
Cortinas de humo para la atencion desviar
Asi en la cima poderse perpretuar
Bailemos esta cumbia, Cumbia poderosa…

La unica salida que tenemos es gozar
Vamos a embriagarnos, salgamos a luchar
Rayemos las paredes, Hagamonos escuchar
De la fuerza publica no debes tu temer,
Solo maniquies del payaso en el poder
Bien ignorantes, Simios asesinos
Manipulados, Intereses clandestinos
Solo se aprovechan del pueblo enganado,
Se aprovechan como sacerdote degenerado
Abusan como politico corrupto
Prendamosles candela como a oleoducto
Bailes esta cumbia… cumbia poderosa

Caballo & The Mothafu Kings – #ABSURDUS

absurdus back cover

After 2 years. Caballo is back with a whole new album which he decided to go back to his cumbia bass roots and get them to the new bass level.

The actual concept of the album makes it looks spontaneous. However, the album has been crafted to be perceived differently depending on who is listening to it.

If you are European, African, Asian or North American, you will listen to it differently than a Latino will do; however a Colombian will understand it differently as well.

And of course, I know everyone is different.

But what I mean here is the craft in details, they have been put in a way that is open to recognize elements, in a way, many songs will sound extremely close to you as a listener, or totally bass music, depending on where you are from, or how strong your connection with an identity is.

At the same time, songs will be kinda unorthodox, or will be cohesive depending on how many bass genres you listen to.

The album goes for: FREE DOWNLOAD

A way to contextualize this, might be the opening track CULO E VACILE

The album challenges what Cumbia and latin roots are in terms of sounds, but it also has explicit lyrics and organic sounds that complement the sampling process, a lot of the songs you are about to hear, have real drums.

Champeta, Moombahton, Zouk Bass, Dubstep, and Cumbia Bass are the most common genres that will blend into each other.

Chong X and Caballo get together to give a more cumbia-bass, moombahton mashing up Major Lazer & Chupacabras

This is a champeta collab with Molo Diaz, Kinky Electric Noise and Piper Street Band of Sol Okarina’s contacto, which was one of the best indie songs of last year for the Latino spectrum.

Lyrics and Music are really important, so there are tracks that have been designed to be cohesive with the #absurdus manifesto.

There are 3 songs for all the rebels out there: Belief which is a dubstep, This is now the time which is a Dub- Drum n bass and this epic Collab with Colombian Master PERNETT

But for DJS and/or dancefloor appeal there are few tricks in the album as well.. like a dope edit of WOST’s face to face.

Even a cumbia bass direction in a collaboration between Neki Stranac, Caballo, Carnnibal and yes, the epic Ragga twins

The biggest new genre of 2013-4, Zouk Bass, gets a different approach as well in a JSTJR’s Cerveja

Without losing his political focused releases: Absurd is also trying to open the discussion on 3 main elements that unite people from all over the world.

The gap between rich & poor, the tactics politicians do to remain in power, what media filters to manipulate opinion.
absurdus caste

absurdus deutch

absurdus english

absurdus french

absurdus portug

All of this, is absurd. It does not have any logic, and still, we are comfortable in this chaos.

And as you can see; it comes with an amazing art made by CUANTIKA STUDIO
that gives you the option of choosing which cover you want, in case you want to print and burn a CD

Cumbia Bass Beats II: Raza Takeover

CBB

Finally Cumbia Bass Beats Numero Dos is here:

GRAB THEM HERE:
CUMBIA BASS BEATS II (part 1) and CBB: Raza Takeover (Part 2)

Do NOT skip Part II, because most of real/traditional cumbia loops are inside Raza Takeover.

All Cumbia Bass beats tracks have been carefully crafted and wherever possible, the samples have been tested in Ableton, Logic Pro, Acid Pro, FL studio and most of them were well mastered allowing us producers to maximize the sonic palette for cumbia.

Most of the loops are sample-accurate which allows total flexibility to mix & layer together any combination of sounds which helps facilitate endless sonic fusions.

In Fact the result is so awesome that we decided to do a showcase with just a very small portion of the samples and adding our own styles..

This particular showcase has only 8 sounds combined in different ways and speed to create any Style that can fit from Traditional, to Digital Cumbia, Moombahton or dubstep inspired cumbia or Tropical Bass or even 3Ball, Twerk or Zouk Bass with some Cumbia Flavor.

Raza Takeover has loops from Global bass heads such as Dengue-Dengue-Dengue, Caballo, Bleepolar, Dj Tamalero, Banginclude, Bubbleheads,as well as some great sound engineers/instructors like Mike Bruce, from the Beat Making Lab.

Cumbia Bass Beats II will be given for free and actually it has different dynamics to reflect today’s musical fast changing environment.

Because it is a FREE DOWNLOAD and it has over 350 MB

The whole compilation will be divided in Cumbia Bass Beats II and CBB Raza Take Over.

CUMBIA BASS BEATS II (part 1) and CBB: Raza Takeover (Part 2)

The first one will have cumbia loops that can fit into Moombahton, Dubstep, Twerk, Zouk Bass, 3Ball, Champeta or Plain Cumbia.

Raza Takeover will have more organic loops that can fit any style, but if you are a more skilled or like more traditional cumbia loops, then DO NOT SKIP vol 2.

If you do not have Cumbia Bass Beats 1.. grab it here
complete the collection HERE >

Even if you do not make cumbia and to show it in a real context, let`s have a look to another showcase of CUMBIA BASS BEATS vol 2: Raza Takeover.

This song has been created using the loops in the library plus a synth from Corrupted Data’s twerk it track. in order to show the sonic availability of the library plus any creative idea.

The song uses the chorus of the papaconyuca cumbia track from the #yoquieropapaconyuca movement

Papa con Yuca

001

#yoquieropapaconyuca es un proyecto de unión entre artistas que buscan protestar de forma pacífica y crítica frente a la problemática de nuestros campesinos y el derecho que tenemos todos a defender nuestra tierra, semillas y cultivos. Músicos, artistas visuales, gestores culturales, comunicadores que están convencidos de que la herramienta más importante de transformación es el arte y en una jornada sin precedentes en Colombia se han unido para alzar sus voces convirtiendo el caos en acción, la impotencia en creación y la protesta en belleza.

Este grupo de jóvenes quiere invitarlos a todos a formar parte de este proyecto que le pertenece a cualquiera que esté dispuesto a donar su tiempo, su creatividad y su cariño por la tierra que le ha dado todo: la raíz, la cultura ancestral de siembra, el alimento, una gama infinita de culturas indígenas de las cuales aprender, una tierra rica en cualquier tipo de materia prima natural y miles de cosas más. Y una cosa más: que estas acciones sirvan para ejercitar la cortísima memoria de un país manipulado, ingenuo y sumido en la violencia desde tiempos inmemoriales.
No hay tiempo para cambiar mañana. apoya la causa con el hashtag #yoquieropapaconyuca

SI QUIERE SABER ALGO MAS QUE AUNQUE NO ES DIRECTAMENTE RELACIONADO CON #yoquieropapaconyuca Si tiene CONEXION:

El conflicto agrario en particular me toca a mi (caballo) de manera muy cercana, ya que aunque tuve la fortuna de estudiar en “un lugar privilegiado” durante mi infancia; durante mis vacaciones debido a las dinamicas del trabajo de mi madre, era extraido a el mundo de mis abuelos, quienes vivian en la zona rural de provincia, mas precisamente en Velez, donde se hacia o hace el Bocadillo. Y fue alli donde aprendi la verdadera vida del agro.

No habia otra alternativa sino unirse a los obreros, como se le denominaban a los campesinos contratados para ayudar con una cosecha grande, y fue alli donde aprendi arado, a recoger papa, yuca, arracacha, ahuyama etc etc, Tambien retumba en mi memoria cuando debia levantarme a las 4 a.m. los sabados, para cargar los caballos y/o mulas con los bultos y caminar junto a mi abuela 3 o 4 horas para llegar a la plaza a vender a los “intermediarios” quienes serian los que llevarian en sus camiones la carga a lugares mucho mayores.

Debido a el clima era mas facil y rentable irse a pie con las bestias que dejar enterrado un jeep con toda la carga.

Fui asi como recibi mis primeras lecciones sobre la verdadera dinamica del campo, las injusticias en las que viven por parte de los intermediarios, las industrias, y el desgobierno.

Aunque mis padres, son urbanos, y mis abuelos ya no viven. Este recuerdo siempre estara en mi como algo importante en mi formacion intelectual, donde campesino JAMAS es sinonimo de pobre, ni falto de inteligencia, ni educacion.

Este proyecto papa con yuca me conecta con esa raiz de la cual siento orgullo.

Papaconyuca significa para mi, (talvez mucho mas de lo que significa para algunos de los participantes) una perfecta excusa de mostrar la verdadera cara del Gobierno. No este en particualr. SINO TODOS LOS GOBIERNOS que han destruido a Colombia.

Tuve la grata experiencia de trabajar en el remix oficial

Asi mismo como en un track con el maestro Pernett

Y me uni a los chilenos del sello Konn, y Mauro “Subversivo” Araya quien es un verdadero guerrero que ha recorrido latinoamerica y sus selvas en sus miticos viajes en la busqueda de sonidos que conecten lo indigena con lo contemporaneo, y por ahi sacamos Tierra Malsana:

Caballo Official Album: Drone & Bass

WALLPAPER

Drone & Bass. The Art and the music are connected in a way, as I do believe that even though some Govs are improving their forms of destruction. We as artists are also improving our ways of resistance.

Drone & Bass is a heavy return to those roots, keeping the sonic update, minimal, dubstep, trap, heavy bass, cumbia plus 3 amazing remixes by Chong X, Copia Doble Sistema, and Haikiri.

The wait is over..
This one brings two active and quiet players to hit a knock out nobody expected!

Cuero Digital is selection of the most innovative Cumbia producers and some banging tracks from pioneers and new players.

The process, of selection, was very simple as there are not any doubts of the legacy from some of the producers in the compilation.

The opening track, brings Global Bass well known, Maga Bo and Cumbia Queen Petrona Martinez.

Present is also Pernett, whose music has influenced pretty much every cumbiahead in the digital era and even been featured in the grammy award Cumbia de los aburridos by Calle 13, he also has been labeled as one of the most significant additions to Colombia’s neo folklore in the last decade.

Alguacil from dub killer combo is also inside, and he is known for being the guy behind the music of Sargento Garcias’ CUMBIAMUFFIN ALL STARS, alongside Jacobo Velez from La Mojarra Electrica.

Dragao, now going solo, is also featured here, and as a world premiere of his new upcoming album, he drops his track “La luz del sol” as well.; The guy is mostly known for being the composer of Papaya Republik’s music and also Cumbia Rockers All Stars.

One of the most innovative producers is Gux Swadharma, for Cuero Digital he reworks Stereo Mcs hit “Connected” and makes it a dancefloor banger, and the tune features the young cantaora Ailin Calderon, who many people say, can be the next Bomba Estereo, with their project, Candela Machine.

Mexican producer Javier Estrada is also present in the compilation, with his sampuesana-step. Sonido Satanas, show how impressive Mexican Cumbia can be in terms of reaching a radio-wise level while keeping a perfect balance between underground, roots and dancefloor intented composition.

Miami’s Kinky Electric Noise, and Germany’s and TropicalBass very own Andres Digital are widely known for being the best cumbia mashupers in the globe.


KEN

And some of the new players like Panela Sound, Dr Guzman, Territorio Comanche, Makina Kandela, or Nahuatl Sound system prove why cumbia is always expanding towards new territories.


Last but not least the ever-shaping Caballo, whose work in pushing cumbia, with cumbia bass beats andsome other cumbia projects landed his Sancocho e’ Tigre release on the hands of Lee Perry’s, Emch, Dubblestandar..
