Their reputation at home allowed them to work with two of the top traditional musicians in the city in what would be their last recorded performance: vocalists Pepe Vasquez, Rosita Guzman, and Sofia Buitron as well as guitarists Roberto Arguedas and Felix Casaverde (former guitarist of chabuca Granda), in addition to members of the live band. For the worldwide release of Karimba, Novalima partnered with USA-based ESL Records (Thievery Corporation, Nickodemus), an ad-hoc home for their fusion of traditional and future sounds. Karimba (ESL Music) has garnered astounding press accolades from NPR, Giant Step, Nat Geo Music and more, while also topping the iTunes World Music Chart and cracking the top 10 Billboard World Music Chart, since its release on Jan 2012. Since the release, NOVALIMA have embarqued on a world wide promotional tour that have taken them to stages in USA, Canada, New Zeland, Australia and Latinamerica and will continue touring all through 2013.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"wonderwheelrecordings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44392193851684,"sku":"","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/8842\/5764\/products\/0013929874_10.jpg?v=1673559344"},{"product_id":"novalima-planetario-lp","title":"Novalima - \"Planetario\" LP","description":"","brand":"wonderwheelrecordings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44392228585764,"sku":"","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/8842\/5764\/products\/0005114468_10.jpg?v=1673559743"},{"product_id":"novalima-planetario-cd-1","title":"Novalima - \"Planetario\" CD","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e*ATTN: International Customers, lower shipping rates available on Bandcamp*\u003cbr\u003ehttps:\/\/novalima.bandcamp.com\/album\/planetario\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStarted by four friends from Lima with a shared passion for traditional Afro-Peruvian music and global DJ culture, Novalima stands in the common ground bridging past and future, uniting tradition and innovation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom their humble beginnings, file-sharing musical ideas and producing their first album in separate countries at the dawn of the internet, Novalima is now a live musical force revered worldwide for breaking boundaries and uniting seemingly irreconcilable genres, communities, and generations. They have created an inspiring movement and revolutionized the music scene in their native Peru by bridging a longstanding divide between the mainstream and the minority Afro-Peruvian community, who have struggled against discrimination and cultural dissolution for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring their career, Novalima has garnered worldwide critical acclaim from mainstream (NPR, UK Guardian, Wall Street Journal, La Presse, Metro, Billboard) and underground media (Giant Step, Remezcla, Sounds \u0026amp; Colors, Nat Geo) alike, delivered legendary performances around the world at festivals such as Roskilde, WOMAD, Pirineos Sur, NYC Central Park, Montreal Jazz Festival and Chicago’s Millennium Park, earned a Latin Grammy nomination for Best Alternative Album, and were featured in cult filmmaker Robert Rodriguez’s hit Mexploitation movie Machete.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile their sound is futuristic and cutting-edge, the roots of Novalima’s music reach back hundreds of years. In a far-too familiar tale, African slaves were brought to Peru as early as the 1500s until the middle of the 19th Century, establishing an outpost of the African-Diaspora on the Pacific coast of South America. Over the years, the soul and rhythms of Africa melded with the melodies and instruments of Europe and the Andes. The result is rich musical repertoire that existed for generations on the periphery of Peruvian popular culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe founders of Novalima, Ramon Perez-Prieto, Grimaldo Del Solar, Rafael Morales, and Carlos Li Carrillo, became friends and started playing together in Lima during their high school years, playing a pivotal part in the 80s underground hardcore punk, and the 90s psychedelic\/acid-rock scenes. As children of artists and intellectuals, Ramon, Grimaldo, Rafael and Carlos were well educated and well traveled, and while they listened to traditional Peruvian folk music regularly in family reunions and in the street, they relentlessly explored new sounds in Rock, Dub Reggae, Latin and Electronic Music, which became grounds for their own discovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring their early experimentations blending Afro-Peruvian sounds with electronica, the four founders were living in different parts of the world. From their homes in London, Barcelona, Hong Kong, and Lima, they emailed song ideas to each other. These long-distance recordings resulted in their 2002 debut album, the self-titled Novalima.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reception to the album exceeded their wildest expectations, eventually reaching platinum sales status in Peru, and for their next album they invited more Afro-Peruvian musicians to join their recording sessions. The outcome was Afro, an album that was released worldwide in 2006 to tremendous acclaim and put Novalima on the international music map. The London Metro Evening Standard raved, “Novalima has more than succeeded in bringing the spirit and soul of Peruvian blues into the 21st century.” Afro held the #1 spot on the US College Music Journal Latin Alternative and New World Radio Charts for ten weeks combined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoon after Afro was released, the founders returned to Lima and invited top Afro-Peruvian musicians to join Novalima making it a true band, setting the groundwork for live musical creation and intensive global touring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn their 2009 album Coba Coba, released on the acclaimed world music label Cumbancha, Novalima expanded the critically-acclaimed formula they developed and took their inspiring fusion in new and exciting directions by delving further into the African diaspora and bringing influences from reggae, dub, salsa, hip-hop, afrobeat and Cuban son. In anticipation of the band’s acclaimed 2009 US and European tour, they released Coba Coba Remixed, featuring exclusive remixes by top DJs and producers including Da Lata, Zeb, Faze Action, Seiji, Boozou Bajou, Haaksman, and more. At the same time, a stunning music video for the band’s song “Coba Guarango” was featured on the homepage of YouTube and quickly amassed well over 100,000 plays in 24 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter two years of constant touring, the band gathered in their home studio in Lima to record and mix the album Karimba that took Novalima’s sound into new places. They introduced both new sounds and traditional rhythms like the Panalivio, Zamacueca, Ingá and Tondero, while maintaining their distinctive afro and dub sound. Their reputation at home allowed them to work with the top traditional musicians in the city, inviting vocalists Pepe Vasquez, Rosita Guzman, and Sofia Buitron as well as guitarists Roberto Arguedas and Felix Casaverde (former guitarist of Chabuca Granda), in addition to members of the live band.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKarimba was released on ESL Music (Thievery Corporation) and garnered astounding accolades from NPR, Giant Step, Nat Geo Music and more, while also topping the iTunes World Music Chart and cracking the Top 10 Billboard World Music Chart. After the release, Novalima embarked on a worldwide tour that took them to stages in USA, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and Latin American throughout 2012 – 2014.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2013 the band released Karimba Diabolic Remixes, through Brooklyn’s Wonderwheel Recordings, hand selecting some of their favorite remixers including Seiji (UK), Da Lata (UK), Jeremy Sole (US), DJ Smash (US), DJ Sabo (US), Thievery Corporation’s Rob Garza, Nickodemus, and more to re-interpret Karimba with their own vision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring 2014 and 2015 Novalima recorded their newest album, Planetario slated for release on Wonderwheel Recordings on June 16th. The album’s name points to Novalima’s continued growth and many international connections – much of the album was recorded on tour when they collaborated with top local and international musicians. There is a strong connection to Colombia created through a remarkable recording session in Bogota organized by members of La-33 including Sidestepper vocalist Eka Muñoz, Pernett and La Mamba Negra. The album also brings in artists from around the world such as Marc de Clive Lowe (UK\/NZ), Panko from Ojos de Brujo, and Kumar (Cuban rapper based in BCN).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemixes from the Planetario are already under way with Jose Marquez, Chris Annibell, Dengue Dengue Dengue, Captain Planet, The Spy from Cairo \u0026amp; more lined up to put their spin on these new tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"wonderwheelrecordings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52128795459876,"sku":"634457689527","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/8842\/5764\/products\/pncd.jpg?v=1673556588"},{"product_id":"novalima-como-yo-santero-8","title":"Novalima - Como Yo \/ Santero 7\"","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e*ATTN: International Customers, lower shipping rates available on Bandcamp*\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/novalima.bandcamp.com\/album\/como-yo-santero\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ehttps:\/\/novalima.bandcamp.com\/album\/como-yo-santero\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"wonderwheelrecordings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52128828784932,"sku":"634457686977","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/8842\/5764\/products\/a4142683775_10.jpg?v=1673552380"},{"product_id":"novalima-karimba-diabolic-remixes-cd-1","title":"Novalima - \"Karimba Diabolic Remixes\" CD","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWonderwheel Recordings is proud to present Karimba Diabolic Remixed, a brand new remix album from the Peruvian future roots collective Novalima. Founded by four friends from Lima with a shared passion for both traditional Afro-Peruvian music and modern DJ culture, Novalima searches for the common ground between past and future, between tradition and innovation. Being one of their home countries hottest exports, (where they have gone platinum) their efforts have a helped bridge the divide between the Peruvian mainstream and the Afro-Peruvian community, a minority population that has struggled against discrimination and the threat of cultural dissolution for generations.

As it’s recently become a hotbed of Latin infused dance music and culture, California is heavily represented with remixes from KCRW \/ AfroFunke DJ and Los Angeles mainstay Jeremy Sole fleshes out “Macaco” into a smooth call and response affair. SF based Acid Jazz legend DJ Smash delivers a squelchy, bouncy version of “Diablo”, while Bay Area veteran band Afrolicious freaks “Zarambe” into a dancefloor joint equally influenced by house music and Fela Kuti. LA\/NYC DJ Sabo reinterprets “Diablo” with his signature deep and dirty Moombahton style, while Thievery Corporation’s Rob Garza takes “Festejo” into swirling, psychedelic house vibe. NYC DJ producer and Wonderwheel label head Nickodemus takes “Mamaye” into bass and percussion heavy dancefloor territory, while Novalima affiliated DJ collective Coba Soundsystem deliver varied takes on “Festejo” and “Malivio Son”.
