RARO 06: El Buga

El Buga is the pseudonym of David Bugueño – designer, DJ and member of the Sello Regional label. Besides releasing tracks by the likes of El Remolón, Dat García and Rolo Gallardo with Regional, the melomaniac from Santiago, Chile, is a celebrated producer in his own right, releasing hip-hop and dub influenced downtempo. The Chilean tastemaker, who is also a frequent contributor to Sounds & Colours, is a trusted voice in Latin American music and released a phenomenal compilation this April, Éxitos Regionales. We’re overjoyed to have him sit in for this week’s Raro Mixtape which traverses tributaries of the Latin American diaspora.

“Not necessarily made in South America, this mixtape showcases the diaspora and the influences that Latin and Caribbean music has across the globe, making a worldwide connection through sound. From Tokyo To Nigeria, the songs collected here expand the soul of bossa nova, salsa and cumbia, with the aid of the boombap of the beats of hip-hop, the delays of the filters in dub and the sequences of electronic music.”

This mix series plays on the Hispanic and Lusophone homonym, “Raro”. “Raro” holds two meanings in Spanish and Portuguese: “rare” and also “strange”. Sounds & Colours’ Raro Series is a crate-diggers’ mix series which embraces both meanings. Over the course of on hour, our guest DJ will delve into Latin America’s unknown, underappreciated and unbelievable music and reveal its hidden gems.
