RELEASE: PA´CHIKIRRI EP
CAT.NR.: MAN 047
FORMAT: DIGITAL
RELEASE DATE: APRIL 5th 2010

Isabel Gonzalez Toro aka ISA GT is a DJ, MC, music producer and video director from Medellin, Colombia. Having chosen London as her base for the last few years Isa is known in the UK capital as resident of the infamous nights Girlcore and Musicalia, which she has taken around the world.

Man Recordings now proudly presents Isa GTs debut “Pa´Chikirri” EP. For the opener “Pela´o”, Isa takes us to an imaginary Colombian baile funk party, with hard hitting beats and tough raps that make any culo shake. “Pela´o” has been remixed in a banging ghetto tec version by Italian top dogs Crookers, as well as Rio De Janeiro´s tropical master João Brasil.

“Pa´Las Mamasitas” is a girl power song with a Cumbia influence. Lyrically, it´s on the lack of good guys in London. A radio and club friendly remix comes from Man Recordings boss Daniel Haaksman.

Two hot original tracks and three great remixes – ISA GT´s “Pa´Chikirri” EP will make many floors go mucho loco!!

Isa GT – Pa´Las Mamasitas (Daniel Haaksman Remix) by Daniel Haaksman / Man Rec

Baile funk in Rio has faded artistically lately – too much Tamborzinho beats and lack of ideas have caused a big musical crisis underneath the sugar loaf mountain. Even MC Gringo lately wrote in an email “baile funk is dead”. Adding to a musical crisis is an increased political pressure on baile funk culture ensulting in the closing down of many bailes across the city of Rio – an early taste of the increased city cleansing and seperation politics by the new conservative major of Rio looking at the Olympics in 2016.
But thank god, funk continues to live outside of Rio, as in this case, one of the sureshot party smashers of 2009: DJ Edgars mashup of Crookers´”Para De Graçinha” + “Soca Ali Baba” with Os Hawaianos´”Vem Kikando”. Call it a baile clash deluxe!

We give it away for you for free:

Para De Graçinha + Vem Kikando (DJ Edgar Mix)
