Did You Hear The New Mixtape? This album is an absolute blast from beginning to end. Batuco is one of those albums that you can put on for your backyard boogie. Your tia's en la cocina and your tio's huddled around, cooking carne asada reminiscing about younger days with Modelo's in their hands. This album must have been a lot of fun to make and you can feel it in the music. Batuco is on my (and should be on everyone's, as far as I am concerned) Best Albums of 2020. Favorite track: Mi Vida sin tu Amor.

Carnal póngase abusado Ya los tiempos han cambiado Usted está muy agüitado Y está buti atravesado Antes se bailaba swing Boogie-woogie, jitterbug Pero esto ya torció Y esto es lo que sucedió [Estribillo:] x2 Los chucos suaves bailan rumba Bailan la rumba y le zumban Bailan guaracha sabrosón El botecito y el danzón Cada Sábado en la noche Yo me voy a borlotear Con mi linda pachucona Las caderas a menear Ella le hace muy de aquellas Cuando empieza a guarachar Al compás de los timbales Yo me siento petetear (estribillo) x2

about

Born and raised in the deep outskirts of Mexico City, the Gama brothers are keeping alive the rich legacy of marimba music running through their family with their latest project, Son Rompe Pera. While firmly rooted in the tradition of this historic instrument, their fresh take on the folk icon challenges its limits as never before, moving it into the garage/punk world of urban misfits and firmly planting it in the 21st century.

Originally performing alongside their father at local events as kids, they now find themselves at the forefront of the contemporary international cumbia scene with their sonic explorations of the classic marimba. Their absolutely unique blend comes from a typical youthful rebellion, when as teenagers they left behind their upbringing and began to play in various punk, rockabilly and ska bands. Now they’ve gone full circle with the return of the marimba on lead, and mixing all of their influences together with an energetic take on the popular instrument, giving it a new twist never before seen in Mexican folk music.

Formed in 2017, Son Rompe Pera broke onto the potent cumbia scene of today as the marimba duo of brothers Jesús Ángel and Allan Gama (Kacho and Mongo), who inherited this tradition from their father, Batuco. A marimba player by trade, he taught them to play and understand the marimba, which they first used to revive old folk songs for their friends, family, and passers-by on the street. They then incorporated it into the performance of popular Mexican cumbia songs, while spicing things up with an animated identity of their own, creating rhythms of an imaginary repertoire that grows, spreads, and connects the Americas with every passing year.

In their own words: “The basics of Son Rompe Pera have been developing since we were kids, and the music and streets are in our blood. We found the markets flooded with old, forgotten folk music, and so as kids we decided to carry the marimba with us and create this musical project from our own roots, mixing in rhythms which we thought would never be musical brothers, like cumbia, punk, and the sounds of our barrios and our everyday lives.”
