I had very much fun with the Remixes and Blends from La Tirana Caravana (From Santiago de Chile to Freiburg, Germany) this year and he packed three Eps with this Tropical stuff he made this year. This includes stuff like this

Download

ShazaLaKazoo comes from Belgrade, Serbia and making the Balkan Sound Tropical. Here comes a Remix EP with Remixes by Chong X, the Binary Cumbia Orchesta  and many more mashing up many different styles from Cumbia, to Jungle to Balkan.

Brandnew Moombah-Pacifica and some 3ball

LatinoResiste presents Moombah A Pacifica!

 When people heard Root a Pacifica, they got in love with the sounds, richness, and beauty of the afropacific music from the black communities of Colombia.

Ironically this album is released while Colombian people celebrate their battle of independence, while the minorities are struggling to exercise self-government, and usually sovereignty, over their territory.

Fortunately the Latino Resiste Crew could capture, compile and share the whole movement; as it needed to be exposed outside the south american paradise, so it could be redefined by NY's Banginclude and many other people like him.

The album drops 6 Bangers which flirt from dancehall to dembow, heavy bass and latin moombahton, while keeping the Pacific heritage of Gualajo, chirimia, marimba, and Choco's rawness.

Lyrically conscious and musically rebellious!! Latino Resiste supports Minorities as we are part of them!!

Download

The Tropical Bass Family comes out with his second release this time presenting the new and innovative mexican 3ball. So the original Tune by DJ Tack & Tamalero (try his Tamales !!) gettin remixed by Guapo Feo, Bumps, Andrés Digital, Caballo, Andy Kisaragi and many more. So get on your Pointy Boots on and step out on the Dancefloor.

It's Carnival - it's Bacchanal - it's Soca Time

So Carnival is running hot in many regions, but you know that some of us are real socaholics and that we love the Trini Vibe. So Fantstic Friday 2012 is history and the International Soca Monarch is done.The Official Results are:

Power:
1st Machel Montanto

2nd Iwer George

3rd Destra


4th Tie – Blaxx & Prophet Benjamin


Groovy:
1st Machel Montano

2nd Kerwin Dubois

3rd Benjai

4th Nadia Batson

5th Kes

So Machel took it all, but my personal favorite this year is the man who wasn’t in the contest Mr. Spaniard Bunji Garlin and this seasons music is very intereting by bringing in new vibes. Some Tunes sound like Tropical Bass, others have Dubstep Basslines. But listen yourself – here’s a mix by Andrés Digital

Some Videos

and KES bringing in new Vibes

Mixtapetime - Tropical Parang !!


First A Parang Mix by Marflix. Parang is a seasonal folk music from Trinidad played around Christmas time. It’s very likely that Parang was brought to Trinidad by Venezulan migrants. Parang is usually played by small bands with Cuatro, Guitar, Shak Shak (Maracas), Toc Toc (Claves), Mandoline, Bass Box and other instruments. In Trinidad, traditional parang music is largely performed around Christmas time, when singers and instrumentalists (collectively known as the parranderos) travel from house to house in the community, often joined by friends and neighbours. While the traditional Parang is sung in Spanish, the modern version – Parang Soca – is in English.
