“Recording” :::: Barcelona resonates reggae.

Kasba Music presents Chalart58´s first solo CD. Chalart58 is a musician from Barcelona, more precisely a drummer/percussionist, who currently is a member of La Kinky Beat, but who has also participated in projects with Radio Bemba, Jaleo Real and Fermín Muguruza Euskal Herria Jamaica Clash.

Chalart58 makes this debut with a selection of his own “riddims”, as it’s Jamaican music that pulses through his veins.

On this occasion he counts on the “worst” from each house: Matahary and Willy Fuego (La Kinky Beat), Rude (Barrio Beat), “Lucky” Hernán (Mamamilotas), Sito (Jaleo Real), Marco Fonktana (Aerolíneas Subterraneas), Sorkun, Dreadgar and Bad Sound System, among others.

“Recording” is the result of 2 years of home-brewed self-production from a mobile studio, taking advantage of the departures and arrivals from the tours, casual encounters, friends and musicians. A story that would not have been completed had it not been for the inestimable assistance and collaboration of: David Bourguignon (Radio Bemba) on guitars, Rubio (Nour, 08001) on guitars, Arecio Smith (Asstrio) and Marcel Lipi (Ranking Soldiers) on keyboards, Willy Fuego on bass and guitars and ‘Lucky’ Hernán on bass.

On this disk you will find 13 themes, mixing reggae riddims and hip hop with variations based on black music, rhythms that range from funk to ragga, in the purist Jamaican style.

Check out the graphic design: a down-to-earth montage realized by Carlos Undergroove (Da bunker), who knew how to capture the flow emitted from this disk and translate its musical concept into images.

Recorded, produced and mixed by Chalart58.
