The legendary Afro-Colombian group Son Palenque, founded and directed by singer and composer Justo Valdés, celebrates over four decades of musical history with the release of their new album Rincón de África. It marks an important milestone in the band’s 40-year recording career and stands as a vibrant testament to the living musical traditions of Colombia’s Caribbean coast. Musically, the album moves across several traditional and contemporary Afro-Caribbean styles. Listeners will hear the driving rhythms of champeta in songs such as “Rincón de África,” “Chapeto,” and “Novia de Barranquilla,” alongside traditional forms including chalupa, sexteto, and bullerengue in tracks like “El Puente de Palenque,” “Anaito,” and “Mina Toto.” The result is a dynamic recording that bridges ancestral rhythms with the modern Afro-Caribbean sound that Son Palenque helped pioneer.
The vinyl version contains 12 tracks, including 10 previously unrecorded compositions, written by key members of the group including Justo Valdés, Pánfido Valdés, and Enrique Tejedor.
