Sheshe Remixes by Vudufa

From Lima, Francisco de Los Heros explores his Afro-Peruvian musical heritage by fusing it with ambient, hip-hop and electronic music. Like his compatriots Dengue Dengue Dengue, Orieta Chrem or Tribilin Sound – who mastered this EP – Vudufa causes a magical collision between machines and Peruvian folklore, also paying homage to the Amerindian tribes of Amazonia, mystical ceremonies and subgenres of Afro-Peruvian music such as marinera, festejo, landó, tondero, zamacueca or toromata.

After the tribal South American Loa, the cinematic AfroAmbience and the organic Kuanda, the man behind the demonic pig mask showed up on Radio Chiguiro Records with "Sheshe EP". There, he reinforced the singularity of his musical and visual identity, inspired by the rhythms inherited from the Peruvian natives and the African slaves of the colonial era. Almost all of the tracks were named using the dialect of the Palo Monte (or Santeria) religion, of Bantu origin.

Radio Chiguiro Records gathered 5 remixers around this unique EP, including one of Pounda, Vudufa's side project ! We will unveil the remixes one by one during the next few weeks, before the full release.
