Bongo Joe Records 

The Bongo Joe label is dedicated to exploring contemporary underground worlds and unearthing rare musical gems from both near and far. With a focus on instruments, voices, and machines, Bongo Joe delves into the furrows of time to bring you an eclectic selection of music. Whether you visit their shop in Geneva or browse their online store, you'll discover a treasure trove of unique sounds that span genres and cultures.

What sets Bongo Joe apart is their homage to the legendary American street musician George 'Bongo Joe' Coleman. Despite lucrative offers from established venues, Coleman chose to play on the streets for over 30 years. In 1968, he recorded his only album Bongo Joe in San Antonio with producer Chris Strachwitz of Arhoolie Records. This self-titled record embodies a pure DIY attitude and features music that was ahead of its time.

The family of George 'Bongo Joe' Coleman was thrilled when they discovered that a record store in Geneva had chosen to honor his name. The reissue of his album by Mississippi Records further solidified his legacy. Through their store and label, Bongo Joe continues to pay tribute to this remarkable artist while also introducing European music lovers to a world of captivating sounds.

Coco María and Bongo Joe reunite for the second edition of Club Coco, featuring a sackful of Latin inspired tracks from international bands and producers. All the songs were selected by Coco María, who in recent years has gone from a promising up-and-comer to an ever-present and influential figure in the music industry, widely known for her tireless work shining a light on contemporary, pan-Latin roots music around the world, through both her live DJs sets and eclectic radio sessions.

This compilation brings together several of the most respected and innovative artists on the frontiers of tropical music today. Those who take the energy, melodies and textures of classic Latin music and turn those gems into songs tailor-made for a new generation of music lovers. Simply put, it's a record for those diggers who jump with excitement when they find a vinyl reissue of some Latin star of the past, be it Joe Arroyo, Los Mirlos or Aniceto Molina and then wonder, "This classic music sounds amazing, but where are the bands that are taking these sounds to new places?”.
