Albura

Shika Shika - the record label without borders or owners - celebrates its first physical release with ALBURA, the new album from Barrio Lindo, available as a 12” limited edition and in digital format on April 6th. ALBURA reflects Barrio Lindo´s three years of touring through Latin America, USA and Europe and represents a new chapter in the work of Agustín Rivaldo, producer, luthier, and co- founder of the Shika Shika collective. ALBURA´s 12 tracks invite the listener to go on a deep and fresh journey into the contemporary sound of Latin American music, accompanied by organic electronica. In the midst of cumbias, sambas, carnavales and folkloric melodies, the album includes collaborations with indispensable referents of the new wave of South American producers who have crossed paths with Barrio Lindo: Jhon Montoya, Ela Minus, Lulacruza, Clara Trucco a.k.a. Wende Wen (Fémina/Weste) y Carrot Green. This album merges Agustin Rivaldo´s two universes: the role of producer and the role of a luthier dedicated to traditional South American instruments. The name ALBURA refers to the youngest wood of a tree, and where the most recent growth rings of the trunk are found - an important part of the wood for luthiers. During the production process, Rivaldo recorded instruments that he made himself: charangos, guitars, quenas and marimbas, among others. On the songs Pura danza, Saudade and Intensidad mañanera he uses his own voice. Written, Played and Composed by Agustín Rivaldo a.k.a.
