Ocha Records

Ocha, short for Orisha, meaning spirit or deity in the Yoruba religion of Ifa. Like the name there’s spirit and soul in the music of Ocha Records.

Carlos Mena (Casamena) started the label after a meeting with Osunlade (Yoruba Records) in May 2005 at the Winter Music Conference (WMC) and his suggestion to do it. Carlos felt a need to release music across many genres including house, but also hip-hop, soul, jazz & funk and help give those artists the exposure they deserve.
