Carlos René: Cumbia en Maracay - Venezuelan cumbia & porro

Spanning the late 1950s to the late 1970s, this selection highlights Venezuela’s take on big band cumbia. With strong ties to Colombian cumbia, especially in cities like Maracaibo and Caracas, local orchestras blended its rhythms with their own style. Some tracks reinterpret Colombian classics with a distinct Venezuelan touch, while many are original compositions that showcase the country’s unique approach to the genre.

Field Recordings Bolero Afro Cuban Jazz

"After two years in Europe, I return to Cuba—a journey back to my homeland, my roots, and the sounds that shaped me. A reunion with my records, with the echoes of a place stopped in time, yet in constant motion.

This episode is a raw sonic experiment, weaving Cuban music, field recordings, and intimate conversations into a living tapestry of the island’s complex and ever-evolving reality. Voices emerge—unfiltered, unframed—giving space to a generation that speaks in whispers, in noise, in rhythms that pulse beneath the island’s insular surface.

More than a homecoming; this Insolar is an exploration of identity, memory and sound, of a Cuba that exists in fragments, in resonance, in everything that cannot be captured — only felt."
