Tropical Diaspora Records invites you to a landmark event: a double vinyl release party that spans oceans and unites powerful musical narratives. We are thrilled to officially launch two seminal works into the world, and we're doing it the only way we know how—with a vibrant community celebration.
Experience the profound and the explosive:
-
Amandla Freedom Ensemble - Oratorio Of A Forgotten Youth (12" Vinyl): Immerse yourself in the visionary work of Mandla Mlangeni. This album is more than music; it's a sweeping, cinematic suite that channels the spirit of resistance and the quest for freedom through avant-garde jazz and powerful orchestration. Witness this "oratorio" performed live, a deeply moving experience that solidifies Mlangeni's place as a crucial compositional voice.
-
BaianaSystem - O Mundo Da Voltas (Picture Disc Vinyl): Feel the infectious energy of Bahia's finest. We are releasing BaianaSystem's electrifying album O Mundo Da Voltas on a limited-edition picture disc—a visual and auditory masterpiece. Their sound, a futuristic blend of dub, Afro-Brazilian rhythms, and guitar-driven samba, is guaranteed to move both your body and your soul.
This night is a testament to the diverse sonic tapestry TDR is proud to represent: from the contemplative and revolutionary to the rhythmically insurgent. Join us to celebrate these physical artifacts of culture, enjoy unforgettable live performances, and be part of our growing community.
