Here at Galletas Calientes Records, we love Papaya Republik's new colombian music!
Founded in 2009, PAPAYA REPUBLIK fuses Afro-Caribbean rhythms from Colombia with elements of jazz, funk and electronic music. The band's first CD (Vol. 1) is an eclectic genre-bending collection of songs ranging from a classic bolero to infectious champeta, cumbia, chandé and porro-infused tracks featuring satirical lyrics that speak of Colombian reality.
This EP features 2 remixes from Krak in Dub and Charles Tox, founders of Parisian electronic label Galletas Calientes Records, and the original version of "Culo E' Vaina Jopo", one of the main hits from Papaya Republik.
Krak In Dub remix of "La Flaquita" completely reimagines the original tunes, giving it the strenght of drum and bass rythm, powerful synths and sub bass. Charles Tox went for a strong tropical champeta-like rhythm, decomposing samples, complete with wobbling synths.
As usual, we hope this release will draw in some new listeners for Papaya Republik!
For the moment, the release is only available on limited vinyl:
