An irresistible collection of 1980s psychedelia, Afroroots and champeta by this mesmerising guitarist from Barranquilla, Colombia.
Abelardo Carbonó, the godfather of champeta, is a legendary Colombian musician who reached a pioneering creative peak in the 1980s with his recordings in the city of Barranquilla. His music knows no boundaries and draws from Afrobeat, highlife, cumbia, Haitian compas, psychedelia…
This compilation presents the ground-breaking and kaleidoscopical work of this unclassifiable artist: the wonderful world of Abelardo Carbonó and his Afro- Colombian psychedelic sound.
Compiled by Lucas Silva of Palenque Records and annotated by Etienne Sevet.
