BLUEFIELDS SOUNDSYSTEM is building the first recording studio in one of the hidden meccas of the reggae world.

Bluefields, a smuggler's run that lies on the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua, has been impacted by war, crippled by poverty, and devastated by natural disaster, all of this on top of a torrid history of slave and drug trade. Despite all these adversities, hope for Bluefields lies within the Bluefields SoundSystem.

Bluefields is considered to be the reggae capital of Central America, its rich roots in island culture and music have continued to uplift the people through its hard times. The Bluefields SoundSystem serves as an important creative outlet for the people of Bluefields.

KALI BOOM is a gifted musician erupting onto the longstanding Bluefields scene. His life story resonates with the struggles of the region, uplifting and electrifying all the people. He weaves together classic soca, reggae, and native garifuna beats to make a sound unique to Bluefields. He is a musician that represents the voice of the people.

BLUEFIELDS SOUNDSYSTEM is bringing Kali Boom and Bluefields to the international stage. This June we are returning to Nicaragua with a film crew, to document the establishment of the studio and the recording of Kali Boom's first album.
