TRACKLIST
01) (03:49) Lamento Calavera ft. Los Maravillosos
02) (04:01) El Faraon Miente
Bogota's Meridian Brothers return to Names You Can Trust with a brand-new double-
sided single. Having made their mark on the local scene in Colombia for over a
decade, the last few years have brought Eblis ?lvarez and his strange brew of
tropical rhythms, wonderfully outrageous electronic sounds and unique, playful vocal
style into the consciousness of a world wide audience. Building on the success of
their previous album 'Deseperanza' as well as the upcoming 'Salvadora Robot' (both
out via Soundway Records), ?lvarez has concocted two new gems exclusively for this
NYCT release.
Recorded inside ?lvarez's Isaac Newton Studios, these quirky yet seductive
experiments in cumbia are further proof that Meridian Brothers and their rare style
are unmatched in the modern landscape. Lamento Calavera, a mostly instrumental,
electronic beat and synthesizer infused study on cumbion (fast cumbia) builds at a
frenetic pace until the choir (as done by Los Maravillosos) resets. El Faraon Miente,
a jazzy mid-tempo cumbia, rides along effortlessly with its carousel-like melody and
bubbling Peruvian-influenced guitar riffs. With a cover illustration by ?lvarez
himself, this is another automatic collector's piece from Meridian Brothers and Names
You Can Trust.
