Inside Out - Latin American Edition - Vol 104 - Distorted Black Roots

Panamérika

Latin America

Those marimbas and guiros, take us straight into the African roots present in Latin music: DJ Masaya, mixes cumbia with marimbas as if he was a Guatemalan version of Kid Koala; El Guincho takes us to Bombay by Canarias, via the West Indies, on a distorted Sargassus sea. Then, we shoegaze down into the new Spanish fuzz, fronted by Delorean and Los Punsetes, who also did some talking for PanameriKa, while we attended the Latin Alternative Music Conference in New York. Don't miss the new album Audiovisiones, by our Chilean darling Gepe. From the frontierlands between Mexico and the U.S.A., we bring live songs by Calexico and Lila Downs. And to cherry-top-it, you can't do but listen to this week bastardization, by Seu Jorge and Almaz: Yes, another version of Kraftwerk's "Das Model", just to widen the music collections of those who seek covers of that classic. Off you go... and press play!
