After four years of silence, Sonido Gallo Negro is back with Cumbia Ishtar! According to Pan African Music, it
is dedicated to Ishtar, the enigmatic Babylonian deity of fertility, love, war and sex, which guards the secret of the beginning of humanity and all music. It is inspired by a famous Mexican Cumbia “Cumbia Arabe” by composer Francisco Nicolás Bobadilla. The band then merged it with a rhythm close to the “Calypso”, synthesizers and choruses. This song illustrate the group’s ability to create a very particular hypnotic mambo, and their mixed influences from Latin America, Middle East and Africa.
Cumbia Ishtar opens the band's new album, Mambo Cosmico (out next month on Glitterbeat Records).
Ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure to present an amazing instrumental band from Mexico City that I've just discovered today: Sonido Gallo Negro! According to their Facebook page,
Sonido Gallo Negro es un proyecto que retoma el sonido psicodélico de la cumbia peruana de los años 70's, fusionándolo con actitud de garage. Órganos Farfisa, guitarras con Fuzz, y el inseparable güiro son los elementos principales de la cumbia lisérgica de esta agrupación. Subgéneros como la Chicha, la Cumbia Amazónica y el Boogaloo se hacen presentes cuando la banda sube al escenario...
This week's song is Inca-A-delic, from the band's second album, Sendero Místico.
