Palenke From The Jungle

These are my boys from Colombia - Palenke Soultribe.



Created in Los Angeles in 2005 by Colombian producers Juan D. Borda (AKA Insectosound) and Andres Erazo (AKA Popa) and later joined by drummer/percussionist A.Zuluaga. The trio combine electronic break and house beats with live South American folkloric instruments to create sonic experience like no other.
The band’s first album, Tropic N Heaven was awarded with a 2008 Independent Music Award in the Dance/Electronica category.
Their upcoming album release, ORO, shows a development in the sound of the project and features known international artists like Miami's Locos por Juana ( Grammy nominee 2009), Sr. Mendez ( Grammy Winner 2007), and Cesar Pliego ( bass player from KINKY). In contrast to their previous album, "Tropic n' Heaven" (2007), "Oro" gives more prominence to organic indigenous AfroColombian Rhythms and instruments in search of a balance between acoustic and electronic.
Palenke Soultribe deconstructs atmospheric and warm Colombian sonic textures that ride over underground beats and exploratory synthesizer sounds. The foundation of PST's work is the colorful sound of Colombia's traditional music mixed together with electronic beats.

These guys have been killing crowds in L.A. and Miami, and are soon to make their mark in NYC this summer. Stay tuned!!!!!
