« Sorry, did you just play tribal prehispånico? » is the first thing
@ohgodscarlett said to me when we met in September 2016 in Nancy at a party organized with a mutual friend (coucou Simon). We had just launched Plage Club, a series of events that hosted artists like
@djtetris ,
@sietecatorce ,
@laurorobles ,
@djrosapistola among others.
When I arrived in Mexico in 2011, my first memories are a pigâs snout and ear taco and my friend
@aldoso who introduced me to
@3ballmtyoficial (but also Los
@macuanos or digital cumbia, but thatâs another story). In 2014, I had the chance to attend the
@N_A_A_F_I TRIBAL conference at
@ccdmx with a DJ set by
@alanrosalesmx and, also with Aldo, we interviewed
@mexicanjihad &
@faustobahia (still on CxCâs YouTube). In 2018, I met by chance the iconic prehipĂĄnico tribal producer
@dj_javier_estrada in Monterrey when I had the honour of playing at one of
@z_u_t_z_u_t âs
@club_viral parties. Recently, we invited the tribal experimenter
@agualokeo to Paris during a joint
@misanxtropical + CxC event, and released a tribal-influenced EP by
@ohgodscarlett on
@couvrexchefs , with a remix by
@dj_javier_estrada .
So tonight, weâre coming full circle, it was time to share our common passion and pay tribute to one of the most incredible contemporary musical genres: tribal mexicano. Itâs a rather vague term that we chose to encompass all the variations of the genre: prehispĂĄnico, guarachero, costeño and Ă©tnico.
A big thank you to my friend Scarlett for the invitation to her residency.
We will of course share the full tracklist and we encourage you to support all the artists by buying their music, following them, sharing their songs, booking them, etc.
Tune-in at 8 pm CET đ«đ· / 1 pm đČđœ on
