Description

Edna Martinez Presents Picó: Sound System Culture From The Colombian Caribbean is a vibrant musical time capsule that captures the essence of Colombia’s famed street parties and the cultural force of the Picó sound systems. A DJ, producer and curator based in Berlin, Edna Martinez dives deep into the transatlantic currents that connect Colombia with the sounds of West Africa and the Caribbean. Featuring infectious rhythms from artists like Zaïko Langa Langa, Pedro Lima, Peacocks International Highlife Band, and Los Corraleros De Majagual, alongside new edits and remixes by Martinez herself, this is a high-energy celebration of identity, resistance, and pure dancefloor joy. With detailed liner notes and a rich sonic palette of champeta, cumbia, highlife, zouk, and soukous, Picó is a must for fans of tropical rhythms and vinyl lovers alike.

For fans of: Soundway Records, Analog Africa, Ondatrópica, Gilles Peterson, Quantic
