Sheshe
"In Palo Monte, it means 'allowed’ "
Boanda Kambote
"It means 'God willing’. It's the piece I like the most, the sounds are very deep, they evoke mysticism. The atmosphere reminds me of something bigger.”
Kindunga
"It means 'spicy'. Here in Peru, we say something is spicy when it's very rhythmic, very tasty, and even dangerous. There are areas that we call spicy! But there are also very good rumbas in these places.”
Guari Guari Riddim
"Guari Guari means 'fight', 'brawl'. »
Lo Que Soño El Margay
“The margay is a kind of feline that we can find in the jungle between Peru, Brazil and Colombia. When I listen to this sound, I imagine the crazy dream of a margay in the middle of the jungle. »

From Lima, Francisco de Los Heros explores his Afro-Peruvian musical heritage by fusing it with ambient, hip-hop and electronic music. Like his compatriots Dengue Dengue Dengue, Orieta Chrem or Tribilin Sound – who mastered this EP – Vudufa causes a magical collision between machines and Peruvian folklore, also paying homage to the Amerindian tribes of Amazonia, mystical ceremonies and subgenres of Afro-Peruvian music such as marinera, festejo, landó, tondero, zamacueca or toromata.
After the tribal South American Loa, the cinematic AfroAmbience and the organic Kuanda, the man behind the demonic pig mask shows up on Radio Chiguiro with a new EP. Through four new tracks and a beautiful artwork, Vudufa reinforces the singularity of his musical and visual identity, inspired by the rhythms inherited from the Peruvian natives and the African slaves of the colonial era. Almost all of the tracks were named using the dialect of the Palo Monte (or Santeria) religion, of Bantu origin.
