Disasters By Choice release Voltaje Raizal, the first album of the tropical futurist music project Rizomagic. Rizomagic is an electronic music duo, that consists of Diego Manrique, director of the avant-garde cumbia orchestra Niño Pueblo, and Edgar Marun, director of the ethno-Afrobeat ensemble, Dorado Kandua. Two outstanding projects from Bogota's new thriving alternative psychedelic scene. The sounds of the album are rooted in the Afro-Caribbean musical tradition, in the mixed ancestry that defines Colombian culture, and IDM. The melodic construction of the album takes inspiration from various cultures, including indigenous chants from Colombia's Embera people, the traditional scales from Mali's Bambara ethnic group, and the Ghanian palm wine guitar interpreted by a Caribbean millo flute. The mix and master were carried out by Eblis Alvarez (Meridian Brothers, Pirañas, Chupame el Dedo) and Camilo Manchego offered the final touches that make Voltaje Raizal a fresh proposal to Colombia's futurist tropical scene. "Rizomagic set out to recontextualize their sources. It's no coincidence that their name comes from rhizomatic, the botanically derived term for a subterranean, horizontal network of roots." Rizomagic remixes of both La Palabra and Truequeo. Edition of 350.
