KEXP celebrates #IndigenousPeopleDay. El Sonido is sharing Indigenous music from Latin America.
Remezcla says: "Pobvio often looks to his Charrúa ancestors and their music to find inspiration and pay tribute to their traditions. Felipe Lobato disrupts how identity is supposed to translate into club music, creating bass-heavy productions that borrow from local sounds but embrace universality. His remix of Lechuga Zafiro’s “Tambor Espada” is probably the most direct and intentional reference to Charrúa culture – specifically, the music from the Chaco province in northern Argentina. This rework warps the track’s original percussive elements until they resemble drum beats associated with the pampas, or lowlands, and adds siku pan pipe melodies. Pobvio frequently includes pre-Columbian music in his DJ sets, and has participated in Día de la Nación Charrúa y la Identidad Indígena commemorations in Uruguay."
