Cubana: "Este video fue censurado. Fue presentado a LUCAS, el programa
televisivo más importante de video clips en la isla, y no pasó “el filtro”. Con
ello no solo determina que no pueda presentarse en la televisión nacional, sino
que también lo excluye de la competencia anual para determinar los mejores obras
hechas en Cuba y/o por cubanxs. El video de El Individuo (de Con100cia) y es una
producción Guampara Music para el disco AfroRazones, que pertenece a un proyecto
del mismo nombre."
Televisión cubana censura un vídeo que denuncia el racismo en la Isla 11/7/2017 Cibercuba: "La
televisión cubana ha censurado un videoclip sobre sobre temática racial
presentado al programa Lucas por el grupo de Santiago de Cuba, Guampara Music.

Cuba’s First Independent Urban Music Label Is Dedicated to Black Resistance 10/25/2017 Remezcla: "In
Guampara, Havana’s sounds of resistance find a home. The studio and record label
is a consistent force in unearthing ways to maintain and honor the connection
with Cuba’s past and its interconnected history with Africa, while also creating
content that’s relevant to today. As label manager Laura Catana puts it, “It’s
about staying rooted in the past while looking forward towards the future,” a
mission she pushes with label founder and owner DJ Jigüe."
Premiere: Cuban Rapper El Individuo’s “Mi Raza” Is An Ode To Blackness 8/18/2017 Vibe: "AfroRazones
– a space for Afro-Cuban expression, archiving a Cuban manifestation of Black
resistance in 2017 – was born last year inside DJ Jigüe’s Guampara Studios. It
was nurtured by a team of Cuban and U.S.-based artists and organizers (including
LPZ who produces for Cuban hip-hop luminaries, Danay Suarez and Los Aldeanos)
that recognized the impending changes of the current sociopolitical transitions
and diplomatic relations at play."
AfroRazones
Presents: Mi Raza - El Individuo (de Con100cia) 8/6/2017 Guampara: ""Mi
Raza" by El Individuo of Con100cia, Album: Afrorazones"
‘AfroRazones’ Compilation Traces the Legacy of Black Resistance From Havana to
the Bronx 5/21/2017 Remezcla: "Beyond the high-level quality of
AfroRazones, however, is the importance of archiving the methods of
collaboration, cultural production, and the discussions that emerged throughout
the process of sharing knowledges in recording sessions and workshops. In this
sense, AfroRazones offers a model example of representation and cultural
exchange, but also of archiving the process of building bridges between Black
resistance movements. In that way, we are armed not only, as the project has
described, “with the wisdom of our ancestors,” but also with the music industry
tools to support Afro-Cuban artists’ continued prosperity in the digital age."
AfroRazones, el orgullo negro como bandera 4/29/2017 Jiribilla: "Así surgió
AfroRazones, cuya idea original parte de la conjugación de otros dos amantes de
la subcultura y del género: Luna Olavarría, mexicana-puertorriqueña, estudiante
de The New School, en New York; e Isnay Rodríguez (DJ Jigüe, el hombre detrás de
las máquinas en ese quinteto explosivo del jazz cubano contemporáneo que es
Yissy & Bandancha), productor."
Rositik’s “Yo No Soy” Collides Timba and Hip-Hop to Celebrate Black Cuban
Resistance 4/24/2017 Remezcla: "Back in the summer of 2016, a group of
Cuban and U.S.-based artists got together at Guampara Studios in Havana to
examine Afro-Cuban identity, creative expression, and support systems on the
island. They conceived AfroRazones, a multimedia project and compilation album
that proudly brandishes the sound of Afro-Cuban resistance."
El Individuo Connects Black Cuba To The World On “Mi Raza” 4/7/2017 Fader: "The
very first single from the forthcoming AfroRazones mixtape sets the project's
tone. "Mi Raza" is a blistering personal history from the rapper El Individuo,
about what it means to be a black Cuban or, as he says, afrodescendient. It's
the first of 11 more tracks on the AfroRazones hip-hop and R&B compilation
project that unpack black identity in Cuba, to protect it and also boost
transnational solidarity at a peculiar political moment for the slowly-opening
island nation, as well as the world. With the help of DJ Jigue, AfroRazones was
created last summer in Havana by Cuban and U.S.-based artists (including FADER
contributor Luna Olavarría Gallegos) as the effects of diplomatic changes began
to trickle down to the people."
DJ Jigüe Explores The Sound Of Afro-Cuban House With “Sigue Los Pasos” 8/4/2016 The
Fader: "Electronic fusion musician DJ Jigüe is always working on something. Part
of Santiago de Cuba's DJ scene since 2004, the experimental DJ and producer has
traveled all over the world, presenting his many projects and collaborations to
audiences from Canada to Brazil. In 2014, he founded Guámpara Music, his own
independent music production company, with the goal of showcasing the
ever-changing fusion of sounds borne of el barrio."
Guámpara music y el sonido del barrio 10/13/2015 On Cuba: "Guámpara music
integra, desde febrero, la lista de productoras independientes en la isla que
desde inicios de los 2000 constituyen una alternativa mucho más accesible para
grabar y promocionar la música de artistas que se inician. Aunque también
resulta más accesible para nombres reconocidos, sobre todo de géneros como rap o
el reggae, por ejemplo."
A Night of Cuban
and US Hip Hop in Havana 10/5/2015 Havana Times: "The speakers come alive
with the music of Danay Suarez, Fifty Cent, Ruta 11, Bob Marley, Pesadilla,
Michael Jackson, and people sing, dance and “groove,” as they say here. Guampara
Music offers a more Caribbean rap, the band members being from Santiago de Cuba.
One of them, Golpe Seko, tells us it’s “Afro-Cuban rap.” The two are also a
family with a baby waiting back home in Santiago de Cuba."
Guámpara Music: Feet planted in Santiago de Cuba but eyes on the continent 6/30/2015 La
Habana: "If you describe Guámpara Music as a brand-new project, you will find
it’s only half the story. The truth is that the men and women in the project
have been busy for over ten years working on urban music production and
promotion in their hometown of Santiago de Cuba. All you have to do is listen to
them for a while. Listen to them and to the music in order to be convinced that
this group has more than a couple of things to say on the contemporary music
scene." - Interview with Isnay Rodríguez (DJ Jigüe).
Guampara Music, nueva productora de música urbana en Cuba (+vídeo) 3/24/2015 Negra
Cubana: "Guampara Music surge como un proyecto independiente y autogestionado
comunitariamente, en el difícil contexto de la realidad cubana y la
particularidad de la industria musical cubana. Además hay que reconocer la
importancia de la música urbana en la Isla por el auge que tiene y
específicamente en Santiago de Cuba, territorio por el cual entró una de sus
manifestaciones más reconocidas, el Reggae, y que sin dudas ha aportado al
enriquecimiento de la música cubana, sobre todo con sonoridades caribeñas y
estadounidenses."
