Ale Hop鈥檚 mixtape

Verity Sharp shares a mixtape from Berlin-based Peruvian experimentalist Ale Hop ahead of her performance at this year鈥檚 Heroines of Sound Festival.

Verity Sharp shares the latest Late Junction mixtape, this time courtesy of Berlin-based Peruvian artist Alejandra C谩rdenas, aka Ale Hop, ahead of her performance at this year鈥檚 Heroines of Sound Festival. An experimental instrumentalist, Ale Hop鈥檚 live performances see her combine a diverse repertoire of extended techniques for electric guitar with real-time sampling devices, in the process building up layers of sonic intensity.

C谩rdenas began her career in the 2000s in Lima鈥檚 experimental and underground scenes before exploring her own solo artistry, as well as co-founding the Berlin-based festival Radical Sounds Latin America and now facilitating critical discourse and artistic research around the practice of listening through her platform Contingent Sounds. Much of Ale Hop鈥檚 work is informed by her background as a researcher and academic, with her latest album, Agua Dulce, in collaboration with percussionist Laura Robles, offering up a radical deconstruction of traditional rhythms of the Peruvian coast, in which the caj贸n instrument plays a central role.

Elsewhere in the show, African Head Charge, the collaborative project between percussionist Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah and dub producer Adrian Sherwood, return with their first new album in twelve years, a psychedelic travelogue across the landscape of northern Ghana, and Portland pianist Mary Sutton delves into her Cherokee roots with a musical evocation of a day in the life of a bear in the Smoky Mountains.
