Songmess Podcast
By Richard Villegas
In this very special episode of Songmess we continue our Dominican series with a delicious interview with Carlos and Marlene from Estación Sub_Trópico. The duo of producers and multi-instrumentalists mixes electronic genres such as house and minimal with Afro-Dominican drums and percussion that fill each song with rich organic textures.
Our conversation covers their musical beginnings in rock and symphonic percussion, to a search that connects them with the music of their roots and that leads them to innovate within it. Today we highlight Afro-descendant traditions, pioneers of Dominican jazz and a future built with the heritage that we carry within.

The film interweaves a positive outlook by emphasizing the rich colors of Santo Domingo and ultimately eschews the stereotypical portrayal of Caribbean Island life. There is also a spotlight on the different dance styles, food, and diverse musical influences from the Dominican Republic, including music by Mediumship and Boddhi Satva, whose track features Gnawa vocals from previously enslaved persons deriving from Morocco. The importance of including such local touches provides a positive introduction to the diverse musical talent in effect from such countries.
