Agua Dulce is the debut collaboration between two Peruvian artists based in Berlin: Laura Robles and Alejandra Cárdenas aka Ale Hop. Ale Hop is a musician and researcher who creates sonic landscapes by blending a complex repertoire of guitar techniques processed by synthesis devices, resulting in a deep, physically intense musical experience. Laura Robles is a percussionist and composer  who plays batá, congas, electric-bass and is today known as one of the best cájon players from Peru. At the age of four, she was introduced to the Afro-Peruvian tradition of Cajón, an instrument popularized through genres like flamenco and jazz, and the origins of which are associated with cultural resistance. It is said that enslaved communities were forbidden from playing drums with skin, and so instead began to play wooden boxes used for trading.. In Agua Dulce the duo present nine tracks of experimentation and deconstruction of traditional cajón rhythms from a contemporary and electronic perspective.
