Palenque Palenque: Champeta Criolla & Afro Roots In Colombia (1975-91) (Soundway - 2010)
Colombia inherited from slavery a strong black community that profoundly influenced Colombian music with afro roots.
It is consequently not a surprise, as state the liner notes, that "Colombia was the first country outside Africa where, since the middle of the 1970s, afrobeat and highlife were recorded, and where this music was reborn under new horizons. Many of the champeta songs recorded in Colombia are not an orthodox style of afrobeat, soukous or highlife (...).
They have their own identity, and the use of their own instruments and styles makes them very original.
Champeta is a re-invention of afro music in Colombia, ixed with Caribbean psychedelia, afro roots and elements of cumbia and other style native to the Caribbean cost." If Soundway Records wouldn't have existed, I would have never kwnown anything about Colombian afro beat. A very good listening experience and plenty stuff to sample.

As we are
The Latin American continent has lived between dream and reality, has experienced the divorce of the good society we want and the imperfect society in which we actually live. We have persisted in the hope because we were founded with this ideal, because the memory of happy society is at the origin of America, and at the end of the road, as a goal and realization of our hopes.
