Palenke Soultribe was created in Los Angeles in 2005 by Colombian producers Juan D. Borda ( AKA Insectosound) and Andres Erazo ( AKA Popa) and later joined by drummer/percussionist A.Zuluaga. Under WC-Music Records and up to 2008, they have released a vinyl named "Folkloric Deconstruktion" (2005); followed by their first album called "Tropic an Heaven" (2007) which was awarded with the Independent Music Awards 2008 in the Dance/Electronica category; and a compilation of remixes entitled "Tropico y Cielo". In 2009 they released ORO which shows a development in the sound of the project. The release marked as the first in a trilogy of albums whose titles allude to the colors of the Colombian flag: yellow (Oro), blue (Downtempo) and red (Dance/Electonica). Oro created a major buzz among critics and fans alike with its 10 pulsating tracks featuring a unique blend of American and European breakbeats and eletro-dance grooves with touches of traditional Afro-Colombian rhythms. Influential publications in the general and Latin media, including Billboard mag, New York Post, Campus Circle, KCRW have all sung their praises for the album. The latest work is titled "Wepalenke" 2010 which contains four remixes of Locos Por Juana, Maleco Collective and Señor Mendez. The band is currenlty touring the US and South America.
