the cd set includes the dvd, a cd featuring original music and a cd of the remixes. it comes in a stunning three case box set with sleeve notes about the project, the history of palenque, and exclusive photography. film-makers santiago posada and simon meija arrived at palenque, near the caribbean coast of colombia to record the music of the area and to make a documentary film about the people of palenque. palenque is a central location for afro-colombian culture - the location of the first free slave (or maroon) community in the americas. with its own unique style of music and language, heavily influenced by its african heritage, it holds a unique position and is today proclaimed by unesco as a masterpiece of the oral and intangible heritage of humanity. the filmmakers built a studio in the town in order to record the highly percussive roots music that mixes african and latin in equal flavours. once back home they enlisted a select number of likeminded electronic, house and dubstup artists to produce a host of remixes, including osunlade, matias aguayo, kromestar and others to interpret the original works.
