Marimbazos De Oro [140 Gram LP]

Son Rompe Pera - Marimbazos De Oro [140 Gram LP]

Marimbazos De Oro, their third album and first for Mixto Records, is the widest they've ever swung. Produced by Grammy-nominated guitarist and psychedelic bolerista Adrian Quesada, it opens Norteño with "Arboledas," featuring LA LOM bandleader Zac Sokolow, then detonates into the pop-punk-meets-oi of "Sombra" with Spike from Me First and the Gimme Gimmes on backing vocals. "José Dolores" is their first real move into salsa — a tribute to their father, carried by the horn section of Bogotá salsa-punks La Pambelé. Trish Toledo turns up on the bolero "Me Olvidaste," and Quesada himself plays guitar on lead single "Reptilio." For the first time, the band says, the complete story gets told — through every genre they actually love, not just the one they invented. Fresh start for the faithful, front door for everyone else. Whether you're crowd surfing or dancing cumbia, you don't need the lyrics to get it.
