WELCOME! BIENVENIDO!
ASHÉ is a word of many meanings: blessings, energy, power, confidence -- people, objects, music and ideas – if they’ve got “Ashe” they’ve got energy and power in the purest sense. In Cuba they call it "ache" and in Brazil "axe"; this word is used both in Africa and Tibet, with the same meanings.
ASHÉ RECORDS is here to bring you music "con ache"!

PARACUMBE
PUERTO RICO TAMBIEN TIENE TAMBO
Paracumbe is a group of singers, drummers and dancers who developed fragments of old plena and bomba songs from the elders of the Puerto Rican mountains into full performances and song. Their tribute to both the African and Spanish roots of Puerto Rican music is a great offering to Puerto Rico's profound musical tradition.
Featuring the splendid voice of Nelie Lebron Robles and the musical direction of Emanuel Dufrasnes.
