Tropical Diaspora® Records presents

RAPadura Xique-Chico

This is an exclusive vinyl bundle with following items:

  • Color LP 180g Universo Do Canto Falado.
  • 7 inch Dj Edition with an unreleased song
  • Cassette with his first record Fita Embolada Do Engenho
  • A1 Poster with Lyrics and TD®R Manifesto
Digital Released in 2020, the album “Universo do Canto Falado” was the first official album by the musician RAPadura. The project features twelve original songs, maintaining the same style that revolutionized Brazilian Rap in 2010 from his first mix-tape called "A Fita Embolada Do Engenho. With rhythms ranging from regional, psychedelic rock, pop to the artist's roots in conscious rap, with the well-known speed flows, beats and well-prepared samples, the artist explores his voice in an unusual way. Matter of fact even the colonizers got the message and the record was Nominated for the Latin Grammy in 2020.
RAPadura is a Brazilian poet, singer, rapper, music producer and activist who builds his work on a contemporary mix of rap and the tradition of the popular culture of the Northeast Region of Brazil.

RAPadura Xique-Chico The Truth Latin American Hip-Hop

RAPadura has shared the stage with great artists such as Lenine, BaianaSystem, Paulo Diniz, Maria Rita, MV Bill, Gog, Racionais MC's among others, and has been spreading his ideas through music since his first album "Fita Embolada do Engenho - Rapadura na Boca do Povo", an original, innovative and refreshing work that has created a new genre in Brazilian music, only comparable to the Mangue Beat of Chico Science.

At Tropical Diaspora® Records we saw the significance of RAPadura's work, so we felt compelled to be part of it. We know that his message needs to be shared, and we are pleased and happy to be part of this transformation. That's why this vinyl record came to be, and why we became part of the mission: the challenge to answer RAPadura Xique Chico's call to spread the culture of the Nordeste all over the world.

We are pleased to announce the extension of the pre-order price!

Our Mission!

We emphasize cross-cultural experiences...

Tropical Diaspora Records® is committed to create and relect a musical narrativ originated by forced African migration, its collective memory and their powerful musical herstories. We are popular based, politically conscious and anti-colonial. As we carry out our musical research, we come face to face with the question of how to address the cultural life of communities that have been dispossessed and opressed for many centuries. Ways of looking and narratives need to be handed back, as we observe with sadness how mainstream recording companies are still in the business of taking advantage of, expropriating the cultural heritage of African and originary people world wide.

Frantz Fanon

We would like to thank Frantz Fanon, always a source of inspiration.

from Toward the African Revolution “…Having judged, condemned, abandoned his cultural forms, his language, his food habits, his sexual behavior, his way of sitting down, of resting, of laughing, of enjoying himself, the oppressed flings himself upon the imposed culture with the desperation of a drowning man. … At the United Nations there is a commission to fight race prejudice. Films on race prejudice, poems on race prejudice, messages on race prejudice. Spectacular and futile condemnations of race prejudice. In reality, a colonial country is a racist country. If in England, in Belgium, or in France, despite the democratic principles affirmed by these respective nations, there are still racists, it is these racists who, in their opposition to the country as a whole, are logically consistent. It is not possible to enslave men without logically making them inferior through and through. And racism is only the emotional, affective, sometimes intellectual explanation of this inferiorization.…”

Free Palestine! End Apartheid and Settler Colonialism. 🍉#FP🍉

Read our Manifesto: our position facing cultural appropriation.

... Look at a compilation of so-called World Music, as it is typically done in the US or Europe...The powerful cultural institutions of the European national states are happy to back this colonialist penetration in the name of the Other, because they know better. So we end cheering up Humboldt’s achievements as if they were our own... Colonialists have always granted themselves the right to represent Others, to measure them against their own scientific and artistic achievements. Record labels perpetuate this ideology when they create through recordings the plane where those featured are kept alive as Others, the strange subject of the colonialist curiosity and inquiry. By claiming the words World, Ethno, Afro or Latin the colonialist gives the impression of universality. But this is a misrepresentation. Through these recordings the colonized learns to act as African, as Latin, as Native in the eyes of the white supremacist. It means, the colonized has been stripped of her own humanity and universalism in order to become a puppet...
