PALENQUE RECORDS
BEST OF PART 2
Desde Colombia hasta Nigeria – Viajes Trasantlanticos

PALENQUE RECORDS is a label specialized in Afro-Colombian and African music, founded in 1996 in Paris France, by Lucas Silva Dj Champeta-Man. Since then, we have released many records and we have changed the face of afro-colombian music, with a fusion of modern and traditional sounds. Our releases go from the very traditional genres of music, until the most modern and afro -electro beats, covering all ranges of black colombian music.
In 1996, Lucas Silva released the movie "THE CREOLES KINGS Of THE CHAMPETA" (30') in the town of Cartagena, in the Colombian Caribbean coast. Hi decided thus to create the Palenque Records label (called like this in homage to the village of San Basilio de Palenque), with the objective of making known the size of popular afro-Colombian music.

In this BEST OF PART 2, we explores new possibilities. Palenque Records has travelled to Nigeria, Congo, Senegal, Ghana and Jamaica, in search of new sounds, new musical talents and more experiences. So we travelled through the African world and the diaspora, looking to fulfill our longtime dreams: to record in Africa and Jamaica, two places that has beeen driving our days and nights, trying to explore new musical worlds. Highlife music from Nigeria and Ghana, Reggae and Dancehall from Kingston, Peul music from Senegal, among others.
So this times have been so exciting for us, recording new sounds around the globe and try to push the boundaries of music. In Jamaica we recorded the albums Palenque Rockers vol 1 & 2, feat King Kong, Foxy Brown, Glenn Ricks and many others.
We started recording in Nigeria in 2020, and until today we have recorded 5 albums by great artists like Oliver Nayoka, Oriental Brothers, Azuka Moweta and a new album coming soon by Okwui Osadebe & Highlife Sound Makers.
We keep travelling and producing more than ever, and we are working everyday to bring you new exciting experiences.


LOS PIONEROS DE LA MÚSICA AFROCOLOMBIANA
Palenque Records es un sello disquero independiente, con sede en Colombia y Francia. Fue creado en 1997 por Lucas Silva, en Paris - capital virtual de Africa, y desde entonces se dedica a la producción de films y discos sobre la música tradicional afro-colombiana. En 1997, lanzamos el documental "Los Reyes Criollos de la Champeta" (La Huit Production, Paris 1998). Este fue el primer documental que dió a conocer la Champeta Criolla como fenómeno musical en el extranjero, e incluso en Colombia. Desde entonces, no hemos parado de trabajar en esta dirección.
