2x Vinyl LP, Compilation

Sound System Culture on the Colombian Caribbean refers to the vibrant tradition of Pico sound systems, large, hand-painted, and customized mobile discos that are central to neighborhood street parties (Ravenas). Originating in the working-class areas of cities like Barranquilla and Cartagena, this culture is characterized by powerful music, often featuring African and Caribbean genres like champeta, highlife, and cumbia, played at high volume. Picós are more than just music systems; they represent community, identity, and a distinct form of cultural expression and resistance. 

Amazing compilation worth diving into!
