This one's HOT! Straight in off the streets we were lucky to nab some copies of this unique LP from Esteban Card himself. If you're into contemporary Latin rhythms and electronics this one's for you. Definitely some OG sounds right here, already getting major props from Gilles among others - Fresh. 
 
Esteban Card debut studio album INELEMENTUM. 
Channelling ancestral diasporadic sentiments and traditions from Colombia with a modern-day awareness. 
One of the rising stars of London’s alternative Latin scene, Esteban Card presents a fresh twist on traditional Colombian music, melding its ancestral drumming with contemporary production influenced by his vibrant London environment. Music producer, multi instrumentalist and singer/songwriter, Esteban Card self recorded and auto-produced himself as a result of a musical discovery and research on traditional drum-based rhythms from the Colombian Caribbean coast. INELEMENTUM is an original proposal weaving together elements of Afro-Colombian Bullerengue and Cumbia with hints of Afrobeat, Salsa Brava, Reggae, Experimental and Indie, in a trance-inducing thought-provoking soundscape. 
 
Produced by Esteban Card and Co-Produced by Matias Duarte. Artwork comes from Néstor Medina Bada and mastered by Alex Wharton at Abbey Road Studios.
