Our Story
For the past three years, we've been traveling to Colombia at regular intervals to present a new sound fusing folkloric Afro-Colombian rhythms with modern day electronic music production techniques that harmonize into a synthetic club sound rooted in tradition. Via the internet, the birthplace of Cumbia has become a source of inspiration to a number producers worldwide. Recently, we invited some of the top names in the scene to a bandcamp in Colombia and a filmmaker to document it. We want to provide an insider view of the impact this music is having on the local scene and how a small network of globally minded producers are defying conventional standards of Latin club music. We need you to watch this.
The Pledge
In order to complete our project, we need $6000 from our friends and supporters. This amount will cover the production and post-production costs of completing our documentary. The bulk of our costs come in the form of international flights and accommodations, equipment rentals, editing, promotional materials and the website we'll create to promote the documentary and keep you updated on our progress. Anything over the amount we're asking for will be re-invested in our next Bandcamp which will coincide with the Petronio Festival in August, a celebration of music from the Pacific Coast region.
