Forging Musical Herstory!

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.…”

Our Partners

In fact, its meaning conveys just that: the creation of human relations based on love and care, understanding, respect and passionate discussions around the topics that move us. Djs Garrincha and Dr. Sócrates do exactly this with a case full of records traveling across the borders of the World. Dj Garrincha’s trips have taken him to meet artists and ignite relations that are meant to last. It can be Johannesburg, Chicago, São Paulo, Medellin, Berlin, Barcelona, Olinda or San Juan. So here few of our Partners World Wide

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...
