Novalima

Though Novalima was originally started by 4 Peruvian musicians surviving in all corners of the world (Barcelona, Hong Kong, London, and Lima), this experimental music group’s regular membership spans very much wider than that. Their audio and objective are way too broad to become considered in a normal “credits list” feeling. Though the globe is generally acquainted with many Afro-Latino musical designs, meaning musics produced by the shared impact of African, Spanish, and indigenous ethnicities, such as for example Afro-Cuban (salsa, child) or Afro-Brazilian (samba, bossa nova), Afro-Peruvian music continues to be much forgotten by globe music audiences. Looking to rediscover and revitalize Afro-Peruvian music, getting the genre out of obscurity and near extinction, the four suppliers solicited a few of Peru’s most well-known and best well known folkloric music artists. The collective released their 1st record, Novalima, individually in 2003. The record protected an array of Latin designs together with digital beats, which arranged the course for his or her second, extremely acclaimed record, Afro, which will be released on London’s Mr. Bongo label. Their sophomore work featured involvement from such Afro-Peruvian legends as Nocomedes Santa Cruz, Lucia Campos, and Zambo Cavero, aswell as renowned music artists Juan Medrano Colito, Mangue Vasquez, Milagros Guerrero, Oscar Aviles, Jr., and Pedro Arrutia.
