Loé Loá - Rural Recordings Under The Mango Tree

by Betsayda Machado & La Parranda El Clavo

supported by

Gran Hablador Ahhhhh this is my FAVORITE kind of collection-- strong female vocal lead, drums that will grab your heart and not let go, and a power that you know connects Latin America back to Africa Favorite track: Oh, Santa Rosa.

joseadan I was born near Barlovento so i know perfectly the feeling behind "Oh, Santa Rosa", this song takes me to the flavors of Cacao and the coast. Favorite track: Oh, Santa Rosa.

Bob Hill Illicit Grooves I love the energy of this album. It was quite rightly nominated in the Favourite Album category in the 2019 #IllicitGrooveAwards and still figures on the playlists of The Illicit Grooves Radio Show
Favorite track: Oh, Santa Rosa.

about

We're absolutely thrilled to present a landmark album in Afro-Venezuelan music on vinyl for the first time. Originally released in 2017 on CD and Digital formats, Loé Loá gained critical acclaim in North America and Europe from the likes of NPR, The New York Times, and Songlines.

Most of the music on the album is in the style of 'Parranda', a traditional Venezuelan genre that literally translates into party. However, not every song is about joy and celebration as the band often sing about many of the most painful topics of daily life in Venezuela, as prevalent in 2019 as they were in 2017 when originally released: hunger, poverty, and shortages of basic medicine.

The entire album was recorded out in the open in Betsayda's home town of El Clavo in Barlovento, a region in the central Caribbean coast of Venezuela known for its cacao plantations and African heritage. It features 17 singers and 12 percussionists compared to the hundred or so that might be part of a real-life celebration. Yet the spirit, one of defiant survival and sheer joy, resounds the moment they strike the drum or sing the first note.

I have been several times in Belém and around in the delta of the Amazon & Tocantins rivers, went to carimbó little festivals in the middle of Marajó Island, taking analog photos of these afro-delta traditions, between 2000-2010 ... this release is huge, I pay homage to Samy Ben Redjeb for suceeding such a project! I hope one day Analog goes for French Guyana, Martinique & Guadeloupe vintage sounds. These CARIMBÓ-SIRIA & candomblé songs are FANTASTIC ! Chat-verre
