It’s here, we’re moving forward again! This time around we’ll be collaborating with Café Cultura / La Taquería! Keep an eye on this eventpage for updates!

■ SONIDO MARTINES (ar)
Sonido Martines is the Argentine figurehead of the South American cumbia scenes. In his dj mixes, Argentine and Colombian Cumbia meet vintage Vallenato and Chicha, and Dub hits upon electronic music. He is a tireless seeker of lost vinyl records and remixer of Cumbia classics, shaking up the dancefloors with a wide selection of tropical music from all over Latin America. His DJ sets feature a wide array of vintage psychedelic cumbia and other tropical beat music, almost doubling as history lessons.
Sonido Martines is one of the main inspirations for the inception of Pantropical. Sonido Martines’ sound and pivotal role in the re-emergence of cumbia inspired the first (still nameless) pan-tropical events circa 2007 / 2008.

■ TOMÁS TELLO) (pe / andesground)
Tomás Tello is a Peruvian sound artist who currently wanders around in Europe. His work is deeply inspired by ancient forms of music, and environmental sounds. He is interested in the qualities of multiplicity in musicianship, using a varied set of instruments that include D.I.Y. electronics, walkmans, guitars, samplers, flutes, bells, etc. A close relationship with the sounds that surround us is a key element in his material. Tomás also runs the highly interesting Andesground tape label.
