Champeta: Rebel Rhythm of Colombia’s Caribbean with Edna Martinez

Copyright restrictions pose a challenge for our channel. YouTube automatically monetizes the songs in this mix, directing ad revenue to copyright owners. This means we can’t control the ads or their frequency. As a result, 99.9% of MAJ’s yearly viewership generates no income for us due to copyrighted music. MAJ’s mission is to share high-quality vinyl-only mixes. To continue, we need support to maintain our studio and cover expenses.

Based in Berlin, her performances evolve constantly, weaving basslines to connect global club sounds and diaspora influences. She has performed at stages such as Berghain, Glastonbury and Fusion Festival, Museo Reina Sofía, Bahidora and beyond. As a curator and host on NTS, Radio Alhara, and Worldwide FM, Martinez delves into restitution and sonic boundaries, making sound an integral part of her artistic practice. Champeta was born in the 1980s and has roots in the Palenque of San Basilio and the peripheral areas of Cartagena de Indias. Influenced by Jamaican sound system culture and African rhythms like soukous, among others, champeta has been primarily spread through picós, spaces where technology and local knowledge showcase the creativity of the Colombian Caribbean. This selection blends classic tracks with fresh edits, celebrating Champeta’s bold spirit and showing how diasporic sounds fuse, reinvent themselves, and create a shared language of resistance and community. ------------ Cameras: - Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/ ------------ The Mixer: Condesa Electronic, Carmen V Stylus & Cartridges by Ortofon UK: - Ortofon 2M Blue https://www.henleyaudio.co.uk/brands/ortofon/ Record Cleaning Brush: https://ramar.berlin/en/ Record brush “Joni” ------------ Equipment Provided by Audio Gold: The Klipsch LaScala Leben CS 600x Valve power amplifier Grundig Audiorama Hanging Speakers Revox B77 Tape Machine  Yamaha CR-2020 vintage receiver  Mordaunt Short Festival Series 2 vintage speakers Audio Gold custom Technics plinths.
