Grafo by Mia Klapp from the upcoming Volumen Uno from Carmela Collective, out on October 1st.
Carmela is a Latin American cultural and musical collective based in the Netherlands, building experimental spaces for music, art, and community. Rooted in the diaspora, the project tells our stories in our own voices, bridging Latin America and Europe.
After a year in Amsterdam's event and cultural circuit, Carmela presents its debut compilation: eleven tracks from Latin American artists based in the Netherlands and beyond, moving from percussive club rhythms to ambient, downtempo textures.
Diversity, migration, identity, and resistance sit at the heart of this work. Volumen Uno is the sound of this first year: coming together, taking care of one another, celebrating who we are.
