Di Mambo – The Stars
Good fusions that seek to incorporate themselves into the modern sound are always welcome, especially when they are done with the sensitivity that artists of this caliber bring. Hernán Melgarejo, known in the music scene as Di Mambo, In their latest single, they present an interesting mix of Andean-inspired melodies with electronic instrumentation, respecting the original link with folklore., But it adds a seductive spirit for new generations, playing with vocoders and reverbs that link the recording to other contemporary alternatives. The remix that closes the release adds an even more experimental touch, appropriately complementing the whole package.
Centaury – Relief
From the city of Cali, in western Colombia, comes an EP with a classic garage sound, a mix of punk, hardcore, emo and other similar spices. The result of this compilation of five songs, made with a strong experimental spirit, is striking. Here, it seems the trio in question focused on creating an immersive atmosphere rather than producing catchy tunes ready for radio play. What this group has done becomes appealing when we understand that their approach has been to incorporate all their sonic intentions and attempt to combine them to achieve a unique result, something that allows them to say they've found their own sound. They're on the right track.
Porn – My favorite house
We're happy to hear from this friendly Ecuadorian band again, whom we talked about a few years ago and who had since disappeared from our radar. This time, they've decided to release two versions of a track that was initially included on a compilation from the now-defunct Burger Records Latam label. They later decided to put together a "dirty" version (please don't imagine anything morbid) on their personal computer. One might think that, with a name like that, we're dealing with a band of leather and whips ready to torture us with drilling distortion, but nothing could be further from the truth: His music is underground pop, made with fascinating tenderness, that any unsuspecting person can enjoy. Enjoy this simple song, thinking more about flowers and less about high-caliber graphic scenes.
