Description
Tropical rhythms from Latin America and the Caribbean.Meridian Brothers are back with a new studio album, the bizarre and wonderful �Salvadora Robot�. Heading deeper into the tropical rhythms of Latin America and the Caribbean each song on the album focuses on a different style and playfully twists it into Meridian Brothers�s surreal landscape.
Originally formed in 1998 it was the previous album �Deseperanza� that brought �lvarez�s Meridian Brothers to the attention of the wider world. Released worldwide in 2012, the album�s unique aesthetic and freaked-out blend of Latin rhythms and psychedelic grooves won him new fans the world over. DJ and tastemaker Gilles Peterson selected �Guaracha U.F.O (No Estamos Solos...)� as his favourite track of 2012.
�Deseperanza� focussed heavily on salsa rhythms but on his new release �lvarez based each track in a different Latin American style. For example �Somos los Residentes� finds it inspiration in Dominican Republic merengue while �Baile ultimo�.� is a slow and sad reggaeton. The lyrics talk of a man who has been sent to the electric chair because he was dancing too much reggaeton, a style that isn�t accepted as �good taste� within Colombia.
