Tropical Diaspora® Records Unveils Special Edition Collector's

A Bundle for Brazilian Hip Hop Visionary RAPadura

[Berlin, Sep. 2020] – A special edition collector’s bundle for RAPadura’s latest work, “UNIVERSO DO CANTO FALADO” This exclusive set encapsulates the raw energy and cultural richness of the Brazilian artist, offering fans a tangible piece of the Northeast’s sonic revolution. 

This meticulously crafted bundle includes:

• The original album on 12-inch orange vinyl.

• A 7-inch single featuring unreleased track and the joint work with Baiana System.

• A limited edition tape cassette, honoring the genius work of the original 2010 release "FITA EMBOLADA DO ENGENHO Vol.1"

• Exclusive, high-quality art posters in Format A1.

RAPadura is a force in Latin American hip hop, renowned for weaving the vibrant traditions, poetry, and rhythms of Brazil's Northeast Region with contemporary rap. His hit “Norte Nordeste me Veste,” with millions of views, is a testament to his power in creating a uniquely Brazilian sound that resonates globally. He moves beyond the North-American hip-hop matrix, drawing instead from the deep well of cordel literature, repente rhymes, and regional rhythms to create a potent form of conscious rap.

For Tropical Diaspora® Records, this release is a direct manifestation of its core mission: to amplify authentic voices that bridge cultural heritage with modern sounds. RAPadura’s work is not just music; it's an act of cultural preservation and activism. By reissuing this foundational project in a deluxe format, the label reinforces its commitment to artists who are vital storytellers for their communities and whose messages demand a global stage.

“RAPadura’s art is exactly what we exist to support,” says Dr.Sócrates and Dj GArRinchA. “He embodies the principle of rooting music in its native soil while speaking a universal language of resistance and joy. This bundle is more than a collection of items; it's an artifact of the Northeast's living culture, and we are honored to help spread its message worldwide.”

We hope you enjoy it!
