Bugiganga Tropical Vol.2 by Doctor Nativo Featuring Tzutz Kan

Bugiganga Tropical Vol.2 • VINYL 7″ 45 rpm • Double Cover • Lyrics Sleeve

When Ancient Tongues Speak Through Modern Beats

Tropical Diaspora® Records delivers a cultural milestone with Bugiganga Tropical Vol.2 - the explosive 7″ vinyl collaboration between Doctor Nativo and Maya rap pioneer Tzutu Kan, who delivers his incendiary verses in the Maya language on the standout track Guatemaya. This collector's edition features premium double cover artwork and complete lyrics sleeve, including translations of Tzutu Kan's powerful Maya lyrics.

Doctor Nativo's fusion of reggae, cumbia and hip-hop with Mayan cosmovision finds its perfect counterpart in Tzutu Kan's groundbreaking Maya-language rap. Their collaboration on Guatemaya represents more than musical alchemy - it's an act of cultural resistance, with Tzutu Kan's verses in his native T'zutuhil language carrying four millennia of Mayan wisdom into the contemporary struggle.

From the streets of Guatemala to international stages, Doctor Nativo has evolved from his roots with Bacteria Soundsystem Crew to becoming a standard-bearer of indigenous musical resistance through projects like Balam Ajpu. Tzutu Kan brings his revolutionary credentials as the artist who first took Maya-language hip-hop global, his words in Guatemaya resonating with the power of a people speaking their truth in their own tongue.

This vinyl artifact captures a historic moment in Latin America's musical resistance movement - where ancient languages reclaim their space in modern forms, where every bassline carries the weight of history, and where the act of singing in Maya becomes revolutionary. The double cover's vibrant artwork visually echoes this cultural synthesis, while the lyrics sleeve ensures every word - in Spanish and Maya - reaches its audience.

Turn it up. The ancestors are listening.
