A South American dance style born out of the sound system culture that has thrived since the 1950s in the Colombian cities of Barranquilla and Cartagena. "GUARAPO!" — the present state of South American ghetto dance, delivered by HONEST JON'S.
Dance music from Colombia, South America, via HONEST JON'S. Barranquilla and Cartagena are famous for their carnivals, and this is the charm of Afro-Colombian dance music matured in a gangsta sound system culture not unlike Brazil's baile funk. A compilation spotlighting three local DJs/producers: DJ ANDER, JEANPI PERREO and EDWIN PRODUCTIONS. Each side is packed tight with short tracks of one to two minutes. Liner notes by FRANCIS GOODING and design/artwork by WILL BANKHEAD + SANDHYA ELLIS convey all that heat.
