Sounds and Colours Colombia

£2.99£9.95

Colombia is a country whose reputation is too often dominated by stereotypes; look on any news website and almost every article will focus on drugs, terrorism or the political friction between Colombia and other countries. Sounds and Colours Colombia is a project that looks at Colombia in a different light. Created by a wide variety of collaborators it focuses on Colombia’s music, film, art and culture, as well as the political and social issues it faces. Featuring 198 pages of articles, photos and illustrations, as well as a 16-track compilation of new Colombian music, this is an opportunity to truly discover Colombia’s music and culture.

” … an expertly collated volume of musings on Colombia’s art, music, film, literature and politics, with authoritative and representative contributions in myriad forms.” The Quietus

 “Finally! Something about Colombia that emphasizes its complexities, rich culture, and contributions, rather then overheated stereotypes. Sounds and Colours: Colombia is definitely on our holiday wish list, and it should probably be on yours as well.” Afropop Worldwide

“Most essential survey of the rich creative Colombian music, art, cinema and literature scenes yet.” God Is In The TV Zine
