Novalima is a production collective created in 2001 by four Peruvian musicians (Ramon Perez Prieto, Carlos Li Carrillo, Grimaldo del Solar and Rafael Morales) based in Barcelona, Hong Kong, London, and Lima. Its music is heavily driven by afro-peruvian and latin percussions, blended with downtempo, dub, broken and house beats. In 2003, the collective produced its debut album – novalima -, mixed at The Premises Studios in London, mastered in Sterling Sound, NY, and independently released in March of that year.
