Journeying into the rising and falling landscapes of deep and organic house, tribal and dance, world beat, neo-folk, psychedelic bass, and atmospheric downtempo, ‘Rise Up Remixed‘ delves into the boundless qualities of sound as a vehicle for human expression and storytelling via fourteen tracks that celebrate the endless colors and timbres of global music. Influenced by the musical traditions of Cuba, Brazil, West Africa, India, and Haiti, Barabajaba’s founding members recorded the original ‘Rise Up’ collection on the Big Island of Hawaii in 2008 featuring Michael Pluznick, Jesse Seymour, Boaz Martin, Zahira Clement, and Sahuna Love (Shaman’s Dream). Though originally recorded live without digital looping or electronic beats, the album’s sounds are reborn in this all-new remix collection featuring re-imaginings by Liquid Bloom, Poranguí, Mose, Ryan Herr, Yemanjo, Equanimous, Momentology, Afrosideral, Oliwa, Auralponic, Tropo, Vinzoo, Rara Avis, and Arcturus.
