A sofa, a turntable,
a few beers
and lots of RECORDS!
That’s the idea. In 2014 La Pelanga launched Pelanga en La Sala – the Podcast. Regularly we have gathered in each other’s homes with a few close friends to share our latest finds which we called “Micro-Pelangas”. This became the perfect space to listen to music that never makes it to our Pelanga parties. Like on the pages of this blog we are able to go anywhere musically and it allowed us to really listen and discuss records that we were most excited about at the time. It took several years, but it finally occurred to us that we had the makings of a possible podcast. To our surprise there were no podcasts exploring Latin, Caribbean, and African music. Not anymore.
You are invited to join us as we continue to explore the world from our sala, one record at a time. Pelanga en La Sala is now available in iTunes store for streaming and download! We will be inviting other collectors to join us along with some surprise special guess! We would be honored if you gave it a listen and let us know what you think. If you like please subscribe. We will be continually releasing new episodes throughout each month.
Gracias,
La Pelanga crew
PELS 12: Migration Mix with Sita Bhaumik
We’re finally back en La Sala after a year of doing multiple DJ residencies. Party events are fun, but hard work as well, and unfortunately it meant pushing pause on the podcast recordings. Now that we’ve wrapped those up we’ve plugged our mics back in and are ready to share more rare records from around the world with specials guests coming through the door. In this episode we are joined by artist Sita Bhaumik. She’s en La Sala with us to talk about her new exhibition Estamos contra el muro | We Are Against the Wall and to preview the exclusive Migration Mixtape we are producing for the show.
PELS 11: Brazil and beyond with T-Kay
This month we welcome professional archivist and deejay T-Kay, host of Hip-Hop Hurray out of Austin, Texas and The Afternoon Love-In from DubLab. T-Kay has traveled the world collecting records and visits La Sala with a collection of 45s she picked up from one of her favorite cities Sao Paulo, Brasil. As always, music knows no borders and it doesn’t take long before we’re off to Indonesia, Singapore, Angola and Sierra Leon. Join us for another one-of-a-kind musical journey en La Sala.
PELS 10: Kiskeya & Quisqueya
This month we visit the island referred to as Kiskeya or Quisqueya depending which side of the shared border of Haïti or La República Dominicana you live on. To lead us through a vinyl exploration of this beautiful shared musical history we are joined by former Music Director at KALX of UC Berkeley and current Latin Music Curator and Programmer at Pandora, Marcos Juarez.
Important Note: This podcast was recorded before the recent disturbing deportation of Haitians taking place in the D.R.
PELS 09: Cleaning up in México
Digging for records can get dirty, very dirty. So we get to cleaning some of our grimiest records, many of which we found in México and Colombia. DJs China Tu Madre, Papicultor, Smokestack, and Pozole all in La Sala sharing some filthy over the counter viagra/ canadian pharmacy online/ cialis generic good music.
After a full afternoon of digging through many boxes of records from all over the world we headed straight back to La Sala to see if we spent our money wisely. We think we did pretty well, but have a listen and let us know what you think.
