'Colombian Loops', the website that will have more than 700 free pacific sounds

Polihedro launched the second volume of Colombian Loops, a library of Colombian rhythms that makes available more than 700 loops and remixes of Pacific music, so that they can be used in pieces of advertising, film, video games and multiple products of the world's music and creative industries.

According to Johanna Pinzón, director of Polihedro, Colombian Loops Volume 2 includes sounds of musical rhythms such as Currulao, Juga, Bunde, Rumba Timbiquireña, Andarele, Aguabajo, Abozao, Levantapolvo, Pasillo, Polka, Porro Chocoano and Tamborito. In addition, one of its novelties is that it has a bank specialized in Pacific voices, where you can find songs from Alabaos, Salves and Arrullos, among others.

This new bookstore was recorded by Polihedro by renowned Cali producer Cristian Salgado, the prominent musician Freddy Colorado and more than eight musicians and singers from the Colombian Pacific. There were more than 60 hours of recording and complete research that resulted in a musical taxonomy of rhythm, instruments, voices and sounds from the South and North Pacific of the country, carried out with the support of the Ministry of Culture through the 2021 Grant Production of Cultural and Creative Goods and Services.

“Colombian Loops is a tool for creation, dissemination and national and international circulation that goes beyond the consumption or enjoyment of music, to become a creative experience through knowledge of the country's diversity of traditional rhythms and instruments. It is the first library of loops and remixes in the Colombian Pacific made available to the global market to re-create these musical languages through multiple sound possibilities and applied in various formats and content channels,” says Johanna Pinzón, director of the Polyhedron.

Colombian Loops is also a response to the current needs of the world's creative industry that is constantly searching for Colombia's sound diversity.

“In the current conditions of the music industry, both in terms of circulation and dissemination and consumption, Polihedro considers that the generation of digital strategies is fundamental for Colombian music, first of all, to promote the dissemination and recognition of local sounds and languages in global contexts and, on the other hand, to their recreation based on various digitalization processes”, explains Johanna Pinzón, director of Polyhedro.

Through the virtual store advertising agencies, DJs, producers, artists, film and television studios, you will be able to find the package of loops (sound fragments) and remixes that will work in multiple audio editing programs and, most importantly, will allow Colombian music go around the world.

It should be remembered that in 2014 Polihedro launched the Caribe bookstore with nearly 400 loops and rhythms of cumbia, vallenato, porro and sounds from the Colombian island region recorded with great musicians and producers in the country. Now, with this second bookstore, Colombian Loops consolidates itself as a solid and professional online bank that offers the world more than 1,000 loops of music from the Colombian Caribbean and Pacific that can be used for various creative products.
