Release Notes:
AchiliFunk is a proposal to recover the afroamerican
influences that spilled spanish music rooted in
rumba and flamenco.
Everything started in the early 60s. The legendary
rumba singer Peret set the start of it all from
Barcelona, the birth place of the new genre. Spanish
rumba comes mainly from the collision of flamenco
with afrocuban rumba, funk, soul and Fania Sound.
It contains all The Classics, but this journey into
the vaults of Barcelona and Madrid's dustiest record
shops will discover many hidden gems to the avid
crate diggers, great breakbeats for the sample
chasers but first of all is a great party music
album. The tracklist features classic and rare cuts,
and as bonus tracks two newly recorded covers from
this era, one featuring the legendary Peret himself.
AchiliFunk has been compiled by Txarly Brown,
graphic designer, deejay, musician, black grooves
enthusiast and crazy record collector from
Barcelona. During the last decade he has developed a
deep exploration of all things rumba. Txarly was
also cofounder of seminal electronic label
Novophonic and the experimental one Business Class.
He has travelled Europe spinning records with The
Nairobi Trio and playing with the sampladelic
Camping Gaz.
