Olindo Records is born in London from the music obsessives behind Colectivo Futuro, a cultural node where art forms and people converge. The collective is formed by a group of DJs, graphic designers, and artists who are committed to showcasing and collaborating with individuals and collectives that carry a passionate approach and a common aesthetic.

The label's first release comes from the Paris-based septet Monsalve Y Los Forajidos, led by Venezuelan bassist Raul Monsalve, the band is an amalgamation of sounds and influences that revolve around traditional afro-latin styles of music with a heavy dose of psychedelia and funk. Both tracks originally appeared on the band's self-released Volumen Dos album, but are presented here in vinyl for the first time.

On the A Side, Abeja is built upon a mixture of the NY-style Mozambique rhythm, which had a crucial impact on salsa made in Caracas; and straight up James Brown inspired funk. All rooted by the quintessential latin clave rhythm to keep dancers locked in. The tune's vocal chant "Va Volando Como E" serving as an uplifting mantra for Los Forajidos.

Black & Decker, the B-side, was written by the band's co-founder and former guitarist Gustavo Guerrero. Originally intended for a short film about cooking, it is based on an atypical cha-cha rhythm on 15/4 time, with the Marc Ribot inspired guitar once again playing a key role in providing the band's signature psychedelic touches.
