"body": "New single [Available exclusively on Bandcamp](https://mngwaband.bandcamp.com/album/crackadoom)!\n\nPeace & Rhythm invites you to celebrate Dia De Los Muertos with Vancouver, Canada’s MNGWA! These pioneers of prog cumbia have crafted a sound all their own. Camino pa' tu Casa, the first of four songs on Crackadoom, comes out just in time for Dia De Los Muertos, capturing the vibe of the season and setting the tone for the musical journey to come. \n\nKeep watch for the full EP coming in December!\n\n“ _Crackadoom_ is **MNGWA** at their rawest and most instinctual. In the midst of a busy stretch of summer festivals, the eight core members of **MNGWA** carved out a period of 3 days in remote Williams Lake, central British Columbia, where the EP was recorded in its entirety. Vancouver-based veteran sonic alchemist **Brandon Hoffman** (**Blocktreat**) engineered and produced this record from the beginning to end (from the comfort of his own cabin), and his idiosyncratic approach to recording challenged **MNGWA** to set aside the maximalistic sheen of their previous records and embrace imperfection. Hoffman's choice to track the songs without a metronome gives _Crackadoom_ a living, breathing and almost live quality. _Crackadoom_ is **MNGWA** 's most stripped-down and cohesive release yet, where the two worlds of psych rock and cumbia are integrated more than ever. Sung entirely in Spanish, the lyrics allude to topics as wide-ranging as modern political tyranny (plenty to go around!), media and technological mind control, and communing with ancestral spirits.”",

"body": "We are incredibly excited to bring Poland’s **Warsaw Afrobeat Orchestra** into the **Peace & Rhythm** family with the release of their 3rd full length album _Antibody_!\n\nOver the last seven years, **WAO** has crafted a style of afrobeat all their own. The frontline vocal trio of **Anna Piotrowska** , **Agata Dąbrowska** , and **Magdalena Kuś** creates a timbre that’s unmistakably **Warsaw Afrobeat**. Aggressive yet beautiful vocals contrast melodic horn lines over afro rhythms to recontextualize the traditions of Fela Kuti and Tony Allen, forging a sound that **Dąbrowska** describes as “Firmly rooted in afrobeat on the one hand, **WAO** has been in constant process of development exploring new sounds and techniques. That is why I decided to smuggle my personal more pop vision into afrobeat without disturbing the character of **WAO** music”.\n\n“The new material is largely a continuation of **WAO** ’s initial path, which follows the combination of diverse European music elements on the ground of afrobeat. Eclecticism, combining various styles and genres make up the music of **WAO**. The new value is a more liberal approach to arrangements and compositions accompanied by a lot of focus on naturalness of the sound and avoiding overproduction during recordings.”\n\nThis fusion of styles and organic approach to recording renders _Antibody_ an album full of surprising turns as well as welcome pleasures for those familiar with their previous releases. WAO’s penchant for eclecticism and experimentation is well represented on the song “Body”, merging Eastern European melodies with rhythmic elements of reggae and afrobeat into a unique dance floor burner. Other stand outs from the album include the heavy afrofunk of “Invitation”, the high energy “Dissolution”, and the rhythmic killer “Tsunami” that rolls over the listener in an unstoppable manner suggested by the title.\n\nCurrently available in our webstore, on [Peace & Rhythm’s Bandcamp](https://peacerhythm.bandcamp.com/album/antibody), as well as all digital streaming and download platforms. The beautiful limited edition green vinyl pressing is available courtesy of Poland’s Scriptology label, and will soon be for sale at Peace & Rhythm’s webstore as well.",

This dynamic supergroup has forged a sound blending cumbia pop and Latin disco with a psychedelic edge and now it's on wax. Their debut album is aptly titled **_Psychedelic Disco Cumbia_** and the official record release party for New York is on Halloween. \n\n\n\nMany of the songs on the album strike a unique balance between classic cumbias, Latin dance music, and psychedelic influences. The kickoff track “**Dream of the Bell Flower** ” really gets into the classic cumbias peruanas of groups like Los Mirlos, Los Wembler's and Los Destellos with a psychedelic guitar groove. The title is a reference to a family of flowers that grow in the Amazon all of which have various medicinal and hallucinogenic properties. “**Six on the Stairway to Seven”** is another composition with classic cumbias peruanas and 60’s psychedelic rock in mind. The title playing with references to some very famous classic rock songs, of course. “**Javelin** ” comes from the point of view of the colonized and marginalized. Sung in English with a deeper message, but still a danceable vibe.\n\n**“The Devil is a Charmer”** is a single already out and brings in some of the band’s favorite surf and spaghetti western influences on the tune; Ennio Morricone, The Ventures, and Dick Dale. The next single from the album is **“Rata”** which is influenced by chicha music. The song takes cues from the Peruvian scene and their use of electric guitars. The lyric refers to “so-called friends” that don’t behave and go behind your back, a.k.a. “rats.” For the DJs and late night sweaty vibes head to **“Guaracheo”** for a cumbia house track that goes off on the dancefloors.\n\nThe album is a perfect introduction to the LOCOBEACH sound, but only leaves you wanting to see them live. As Joshua states, “We are a well-oiled dance machine! People that have never heard of us before, will be up and dancing within the first song, we’re confident of that. At the end of the day we are a dance band and it’s our job to get the audience moving.” Catch them at a city near you as tour dates will be announced soon. Meantime check out these videos!",

"body": "\n\nThe latest effort by Puerto Rico’s salsa rebels **Orquesta El Macabeo** is a very timely cover version of th **Daniel Santos** anti-imperialist anthem **“Yankee Go Home”** appropriately coupled with the title song from their last LP, **“La Maldición Colonial”** on the flip side. In choosing to reinterpret “Yankee Go Home”, the original of which was released decades ago on the LP “Los Patriotas” (a joint release from Daniel “El Jefe” Santos and Pedro “Davilita” Ortiz Davila) as a daring protest song that sang “truth to power”, Orquesta El Macabeo give a fresh new take on the long, rich tradition of **Puerto Rican protest music** that fits in perfectly with current events on the island. The second half of the song features a spoken word section taken from the 1999 tune “Estado Colonial” from the cassette by the Boricua hardcore punk group **Actitud Subversiva**. As always, lead singer **Luis De La Rosa** inspires us with his distinctive vocal timbre and vigor, adding a sense of righteous indignation and playful critique to the urgent anti-colonial messages in the lyrics. The band, led by bassist **José Ibañez** and arranger/pianist **Aníbal Vidal Quintero** , backs Luis up with fierce and joyful playing that lends an air of celebration to an otherwise serious and heartfelt subject matter. \n\n\n\nThe edition is a hand-numbered release, consisting of a 7-inch, 33 1/3 RPM record with two songs. Extremely limited to a **Deluxe Edition** version of 150 in color (red white and blue splatter, each is unique) that comes with a special 7” Orquesta El Macabeo logo DJ slip mat, and 150 normal black copies. Each record also comes with a hand-splattered postcard featuring a special photo of the band (by Joshua Espinosa and Joey Oyola) on one side and the lyrics and credits on the other. Mastered by Nestor Solomon. Released by Discos de Hoy in conjunction with Peace & Rhythm.\n\n\n\nThe band’s supply has already sold out. We at Peace & Rhythm are selling our share exclusively here on the website \\- hurry now as supplies are limited! The deluxe color edition is 20.00 and the black is 10.00 (plus shipping). Free extra band photo postcard (hand splattered and stamped) to the first 15 customers to purchase the Deluxe Edition. Limit 2 of each version per customer. Visit our store to purchase.\n\nTo hear **\"Yankee Go Home\"** : \n\nCheck out a smokin' live version of the B-side, **\"La Maldición Colonial\"** :\n\n**\n\n**\n\n \n\nInterview between **DJ Bongohead**(Peace & Rhythm) and **José Ibañez**(bassist / leader of Orquesta El Macabeo) about the single of “Yankee Go Home”.\n\n**Bongohead:** Explain a bit about how the recording was made.\n\n**José:**_We were looking for something cool to launch while completing the process of our double live album on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the orchestra, and it had long been considered a cover of this tune ... since we saw it as a natural fit to take it to our “Macabionic” style easily._\n\nWhat was the motivation to make this record?\n\n_Well, like I said previously, and besides that we think it has a good message ... and this topic (Daniel Santos and Davilita’s protest album “Los Patriotas”) is very little known by people in general. When the album was first issued, it was very close to the time when it was forbidden to use the Puerto Rican flag in public (the cover has the flag) ... they could give you up to a 10-year jail sentence. In Puerto Rico many people sympathize with the idea, but they don't like to say it in public. The syndrome of “colonial mentality” (the colonialized)._\n\nThe band has always had lyrics with socio-political content. How would you describe the role of that in your art? Whose idea was it to cover the song?\n\n_I think music is a means of expression and of transmitting messages. In our case, the message we wish to convey is one of awareness for the new generations. What better protest than the one that is perpetuated in a song? I do not remember exactly whose the idea was [to cover that particular song] but once I heard it I felt it would interesting to be performed by the orchestra at some point [the original is more in an acoustic ‘son conjunto’ style]._\n\nHow did you hear about the version of the “Yankee Go Home” song and the original album where it came from (Los Patriotas / Daniel Santos - Davilita)?\n\n_A bandmate (Yussef) came and brought me a copy on CD-R ... maybe about 8 years ago. I didn't know about this album before that._\n\nHow is it relevant for the band and today's things in your country?\n\n_I think the song was released at an important time for Puerto Rico, but that was without planning [ahead of time by us]. We would never take advantage of a social or political crisis to market our music. It is very relevant because it speaks of a problem that has stalked Puerto Rico for more than 500 years, and that is [our] country being the property and prisoner of another nation. Years go by but nothing changes._\n\n\n\n**YANKEE GO HOME** (Daniel Santos)\n\nIf my poor Puerto Rico\n\nis free and associated\n\nIf my poor Puerto Rico\n\nIt is free and associated.\n\n \n\nWhy haven't you respected it\n\nthe way a partner is respected,\n\nwhen you talk about business,\n\nthis talk of independence,\n\nand the belief of many is\n\nthat Muñoz has been expelled.\n\n \n\nWhy don't you take your planes,\n\nwhy don't you take your cannons,\n\nwhy don't you take your thugs,\n\nand leave here, and leave here.\n\n \n\nOut Yankee Go Home, Out Yankee\n\nOut Yankee Go Home, Out Yankee\n\nOut Yankee Go Home, Out Yankee\n\nOut Yankee Go Home, Out Yankee.\n\n \n\nThe _cuchifritos_(pork rinds) are from here,\n\nsweet potato and _coquí_(tree frog),\n\nThe _cuchifritos_ are from here,\n\nsweet potato and _coquí_ ,\n\nThose who say _“¡Ay bendito!”_ *,\n\nthey are from here.\n\n \n\nOut Yankee Go Home, Out Yankee\n\nOut Yankee Go Home, Out Yankee\n\nOut Yankee Go Home, Out Yankee\n\nOut Yankee Go Home, Out Yankee.\n\n \n\nThe _pasteles_(cakes) and the _softito,_ **\n\nthe _coquito_(holiday drink) and the _maví, ***_\n\nThe _pasteles_ and the _softito_ ,\n\nthe _coquito_ and the _maví,_\n\nThe _mofongo_(mashed plantain) and the _caimito_(star apple),\n\nthose are from here.\n\n \n\nOut Yankee Go Home, Out Yankee\n\nOut Yankee Go Home, Out Yankee\n\nOut Yankee Go Home, Out Yankee\n\nOut Yankee Go Home, Out Yankee.\n\n \n\n**GLOSSARY:**\n\n* “¡Ay, bendito!”\n\nIt is common for Latin Americans to facetiously call Puerto Rico “The Land of the Ay Bendito,” a commentary on the term’s popularity as well as the many nuances and eccentricities of its usage. Literally it translates as “Oh, blessed [be]!” but the expression is perhaps best understood as an all-purpose interjection or ‘holophrasis’ which resembles a lament in appearance but can in fact assume a wide range of connotations or be applied to virtually any context or mood. The term can be used to express (or be interpreted to express) pity, compassion, gratitude, concern, sarcasm, dismay, understanding, disapproval, disappointment, frustration, etc. How the term is interpreted largely depends on the inflection and intonation with which it is said. For instance, depending on the context, the inflection and the intonation with which the word is uttered, “¡Ay, Bendito!” could be translated as the following: “Dear Lord!”, “Oh, dear!”, “That's too bad, what a shame,” “That’s cute,” “That's the way things go” or “So it goes,” “I’m so happy for her,” “That was really selfless of you,” “Please, I insist!,” “She's so naive, I almost pity her,” “Damn!” or “Hot damn!”, etc.\n\n** Sofrito\n\nSofrito is a sauce used as a base in Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Latin American cooking. Preparations may vary, but it typically consists of aromatic ingredients cut into small pieces and sauteed or braised in cooking oil in a frying pan or pot.\n\n*** Maví (or mabí)\n\nMauby, a tree bark and sugar cane drink made in the Caribbean. The bark and/or fruit of certain species in the genus Colubrina including Colubrina elliptica (also called behuco indio) and Colubrina arborescens, a small tree native to the northern Caribbean and south Florida, is used.\n\n\n\n**VERSÍON ESPAÑOL**\n\nEl último esfuerzo de los rebeldes de la salsa de Puerto Rico, Orquesta El Macabeo, es una versión de portada muy oportuna del himno antiimperialista de Daniel Santos \"Yankee Go Home\", junto con la canción del título de su último LP, \"La Maldición Colonial\". Al elegir reinterpretar \"Yankee Go Home\", el original del cual fue lanzado hace décadas en el LP \"Los Patriotas\" (un lanzamiento conjunto de Daniel \"El Jefe\" Santos y Pedro \"Davilita\" Ortiz Davila) como una atrevida canción de protesta que cantó \"verdad al poder\", Orquesta El Macabeo da una nueva y fresca versión de la larga y rica tradición de la música de protesta puertorriqueña que encaja perfectamente con los eventos actuales en la isla. La segunda mitad de la canción presenta una sección de ‘palabra hablada’ (spoken word) tomada del tema de 1999, “Estado Colonial”, extraído del cassette del grupo de punk hardcore boricua Actitud Subversiva. Como siempre, el cantante principal Luis De La Rosa nos inspira con su distintiva tona vocal y vigor de espíritu, agregando un sentido de indignación justa y crítica lúdica a los mensajes anticoloniales urgentes en las letras. La banda, dirigida por el bajista José Ibáñez y el arreglista / pianista Aníbal Vidal Quintero, respalda a Luis con una interpretación feroz y alegre que le da un aire de celebración a un tema serio y sincero.\n\n\n\nLa edición es un lanzamiento numerado a mano, que consta de un disco de 7 pulgadas, de 33 1/3 RPM de dos canciones. Extremadamente limitado a una versión Deluxe Edition de 150 en color (salpicaduras rojas, blancas y azules, cada una es única) que viene con una alfombrilla (DJ slip mat) especial con logotipo Orquesta El Macabeo de 7 pulgadas y 150 copias normal en negro. Cada disco también viene con una postal salpicada a mano con una foto especial de la banda (por Joshua Espinosa y Joey Oyola) en un lado y las letras y créditos en el otro. Masterizado por Néstor Salomón. Lanzado por Discos de Hoy junto con Peace & Rhythm.\n\n\n\nEl suministro de la banda ya se agotó.

Visite a nuestra tienda para comprar.\n\n\n\nEntrevista entre DJ Bongohead (Peace & Rhythm) y José Ibañez (bajista/líder de Orquesta El Macabeo) sobre el sencillo de “Yankee Go Home”.\n\n**Bongohead:** Explique un poco sobre cómo se realizó la grabación.\n\n \n\n**José: Estábamos buscando algo chévere para lanzar mientras se completa el proceso de nuestro disco doble en vivo con motivo del décimo aniversario de la orquesta, y hace tiempo se había considerado hcer un cover de este tema... ya que se visualizaba llevarlo al estilo macabiónico fácilmente.**\n\n¿Cuál fue la motivación para hacer este disco?\n\n**Pues lo que dice la respuesta anterior, y además de que nos parece que lleva un buen mensaje... y este tema es muy poco conocido por la gente en general. Cuando el tema salió, era muy cercano a la época en que estaba prohibido usar la bandera de Puerto Rico en público... podían darte hasta una condena de 10 años de cárcel. En Puerto Rico mucha gente simpatiza con la idea, pero no les gusta decirlo en público. El sindrome del colonizado. **\n\nLa banda siempre ha tenido letras con contenido sociopolítico. ¿Cómo describirías el papel de eso en tu arte?¿De quién fue la idea de cubrir la canción?\n\n**Pienso que la música es un medio de expresión y de transmitir mensajes. En nuestro caso, el mensaje que deseamos transmitir es uno de conciencia para las nuevas generaciones. ¿Que mejor protesta que la que va perpetuada en una canción? No recuerdo exactamente de quié fue la idea pero desde que la escuché me pareció interesante para ser interpretada por la orquesta en algún momento. **\n\n¿Cómo te enteraste de la versión de la canción Yankee Go Home y el álbum original de donde viene (Los Patriotas / Daniel Santos - Davilita)?\n\n**Vino un compañero de banda (Yussef) y me trajo una copia en CD-R... hace quizás unos 8 años. No conocía yo de este disco antes de eso. **\n\n¿Cómo es relevante para la banda y las cosas de hoy en tu país?\n\n**Pienso que la canción fue lanzada en un momento importante para Puerto Rico, sin planificar. Nosotros jamás aprovecharíamos una crisis social o política para mercadear nuestra música. Es muy relevante porque habla de un problema que ha acechado a Puerto Rico por más de 500 años, y es ser la propiedad y prisionero de otra nación. Pasan los años pero nada cambia. **\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n**YANKEE GO HOME** (Daniel Santos)\n\nSi mi pobre Puerto Rico\n\nes libre y es asociado,\n\nSi mi pobre Puerto Rico\n\nes libre y es asociado.\n\n \n\nPorqué no lo ha respetado\n\ncomo se respeta a un socio,\n\ncuando se habla del negocio,\n\nese de la independencia,\n\ny es de muchos la creencia\n\nque a Muñoz lo han trasquilado.\n\n \n\nPorqué no se llevan sus aviones,\n\nporqué no se llevan sus cañones,\n\npoqué no se llevan sus matones,\n\ny se van de aquí, y se van de aquí.\n\n \n\nFuera yankee go home, fuera yankee\n\nFuera yankee go home, fuera yankee\n\nFuera yankee go home, fuera yankee\n\nFuera yankee go home, fuera yankee.\n\n \n\nDe aquí son los cuchifritos,\n\nla batata y el coquí,\n\nDe aquí son los cuchifritos,\n\nla batata y el coquí,\n\nLos que dicen hay bendito,\n\nesos si que son de aquí.\n\n \n\nFuera yankee go home, fuera yankee\n\nFuera yankee go home, fuera yankee\n\nFuera yankee go home, fuera yankee\n\nFuera yankee go home, fuera yankee.\n\n \n\nLos pasteles y el sofrito,\n\nel coquito y el maví,\n\nLos pasteles y el sofrito,\n\nel coquito y el maví,\n\nEl mofongo y el caimito,\n\nesos si que son de aquí.\n\n \n\nFuera yankee go home, fuera yankee\n\nFuera yankee go home, fuera yankee\n\nFuera yankee go home, fuera yankee\n\nFuera yankee go home, fuera yankee.",

The band, led by bassist <strong>José Ibañez</strong> and arranger/pianist <strong>Aníbal Vidal Quintero</strong> , backs Luis up with fierce and joyful playing that lends an air of celebration to an otherwise serious and heartfelt subject matter.</p>\n<p><img src=\"/images/IMG_8519_crop_sm_63cd78fa-c3ea-4079-b8ec-7ae77ac2fd61_large.jpg\" alt=\"\"></p>\n<p>The edition is a hand-numbered release, consisting of a 7-inch, 33 1/3 RPM record with two songs.

When the album was first issued, it was very close to the time when it was forbidden to use the Puerto Rican flag in public (the cover has the flag) … they could give you up to a 10-year jail sentence. In Puerto Rico many people sympathize with the idea, but they don’t like to say it in public. The syndrome of “colonial mentality” (the colonialized).</em></p>\n<p>The band has always had lyrics with socio-political content. How would you describe the role of that in your art? Whose idea was it to cover the song?</p>\n<p><em>I think music is a means of expression and of transmitting messages. In our case, the message we wish to convey is one of awareness for the new generations. What better protest than the one that is perpetuated in a song? I do not remember exactly whose the idea was [to cover that particular song] but once I heard it I felt it would interesting to be performed by the orchestra at some point [the original is more in an acoustic ‘son conjunto’ style].</em></p>\n<p>How did you hear about the version of the “Yankee Go Home” song and the original album where it came from (Los Patriotas / Daniel Santos - Davilita)?</p>\n<p><em>A bandmate (Yussef) came and brought me a copy on CD-R … maybe about 8 years ago. I didn’t know about this album before that.</em></p>\n<p>How is it relevant for the band and today’s things in your country?</p>\n<p><em>I think the song was released at an important time for Puerto Rico, but that was without planning [ahead of time by us]. We would never take advantage of a social or political crisis to market our music. It is very relevant because it speaks of a problem that has stalked Puerto Rico for more than 500 years, and that is [our] country being the property and prisoner of another nation. Years go by but nothing changes.</em></p>\n<p><img src=\"/images/daniel-santos-y-davilita-los-patriotas-400x389_grande.jpg\" alt=\"\"></p>\n<p><strong>YANKEE GO HOME</strong> (Daniel Santos)</p>\n<p>If my poor Puerto Rico</p>\n<p>is free and associated</p>\n<p>If my poor Puerto Rico</p>\n<p>It is free and associated.</p>\n<p>Why haven’t you respected it</p>\n<p>the way a partner is respected,</p>\n<p>when you talk about business,</p>\n<p>this talk of independence,</p>\n<p>and the belief of many is</p>\n<p>that Muñoz has been expelled.</p>\n<p>Why don’t you take your planes,</p>\n<p>why don’t you take your cannons,</p>\n<p>why don’t you take your thugs,</p>\n<p>and leave here, and leave here.</p>\n<p>Out Yankee Go Home, Out Yankee</p>\n<p>Out Yankee Go Home, Out Yankee</p>\n<p>Out Yankee Go Home, Out Yankee</p>\n<p>Out Yankee Go Home, Out Yankee.</p>\n<p>The <em>cuchifritos</em>(pork rinds) are from here,</p>\n<p>sweet potato and <em>coquí</em>(tree frog),</p>\n<p>The <em>cuchifritos</em> are from here,</p>\n<p>sweet potato and <em>coquí</em> ,</p>\n<p>Those who say <em>“¡Ay bendito!”</em> *,</p>\n<p>they are from here.</p>\n<p>Out Yankee Go Home, Out Yankee</p>\n<p>Out Yankee Go Home, Out Yankee</p>\n<p>Out Yankee Go Home, Out Yankee</p>\n<p>Out Yankee Go Home, Out Yankee.</p>\n<p>The <em>pasteles</em>(cakes) and the <em>softito,</em> **</p>\n<p>the <em>coquito</em>(holiday drink) and the <em>maví, ***</em></p>\n<p>The <em>pasteles</em> and the <em>softito</em> ,</p>\n<p>the <em>coquito</em> and the <em>maví,</em></p>\n<p>The <em>mofongo</em>(mashed plantain) and the <em>caimito</em>(star apple),</p>\n<p>those are from here.</p>\n<p>Out Yankee Go Home, Out Yankee</p>\n<p>Out Yankee Go Home, Out Yankee</p>\n<p>Out Yankee Go Home, Out Yankee</p>\n<p>Out Yankee Go Home, Out Yankee.</p>\n<p><strong>GLOSSARY:</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>“¡Ay, bendito!”</li>\n</ul>\n<p>It is common for Latin Americans to facetiously call Puerto Rico “The Land of the Ay Bendito,” a commentary on the term’s popularity as well as the many nuances and eccentricities of its usage. Literally it translates as “Oh, blessed [be]!” but the expression is perhaps best understood as an all-purpose interjection or ‘holophrasis’ which resembles a lament in appearance but can in fact assume a wide range of connotations or be applied to virtually any context or mood. The term can be used to express (or be interpreted to express) pity, compassion, gratitude, concern, sarcasm, dismay, understanding, disapproval, disappointment, frustration, etc. How the term is interpreted largely depends on the inflection and intonation with which it is said. For instance, depending on the context, the inflection and the intonation with which the word is uttered, “¡Ay, Bendito!” could be translated as the following: “Dear Lord!”, “Oh, dear!”, “That’s too bad, what a shame,” “That’s cute,” “That’s the way things go” or “So it goes,” “I’m so happy for her,” “That was really selfless of you,” “Please, I insist!,” “She’s so naive, I almost pity her,” “Damn!” or “Hot damn!”, etc.</p>\n<p>** Sofrito</p>\n<p>Sofrito is a sauce used as a base in Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Latin American cooking. Preparations may vary, but it typically consists of aromatic ingredients cut into small pieces and sauteed or braised in cooking oil in a frying pan or pot.</p>\n<p>*** Maví (or mabí)</p>\n<p>Mauby, a tree bark and sugar cane drink made in the Caribbean. The bark and/or fruit of certain species in the genus Colubrina including Colubrina elliptica (also called behuco indio) and Colubrina arborescens, a small tree native to the northern Caribbean and south Florida, is used.</p>\n<p><img src=\"/images/IMG_3428_large.png\" alt=\"\"></p>\n<p><strong>VERSÍON ESPAÑOL</strong></p>\n<p>El último esfuerzo de los rebeldes de la salsa de Puerto Rico, Orquesta El Macabeo, es una versión de portada muy oportuna del himno antiimperialista de Daniel Santos “Yankee Go Home”, junto con la canción del título de su último LP, “La Maldición Colonial”. Al elegir reinterpretar “Yankee Go Home”, el original del cual fue lanzado hace décadas en el LP “Los Patriotas” (un lanzamiento conjunto de Daniel “El Jefe” Santos y Pedro “Davilita” Ortiz Davila) como una atrevida canción de protesta que cantó “verdad al poder”, Orquesta El Macabeo da una nueva y fresca versión de la larga y rica tradición de la música de protesta puertorriqueña que encaja perfectamente con los eventos actuales en la isla. La segunda mitad de la canción presenta una sección de ‘palabra hablada’ (spoken word) tomada del tema de 1999, “Estado Colonial”, extraído del cassette del grupo de punk hardcore boricua Actitud Subversiva. Como siempre, el cantante principal Luis De La Rosa nos inspira con su distintiva tona vocal y vigor de espíritu, agregando un sentido de indignación justa y crítica lúdica a los mensajes anticoloniales urgentes en las letras. La banda, dirigida por el bajista José Ibáñez y el arreglista / pianista Aníbal Vidal Quintero, respalda a Luis con una interpretación feroz y alegre que le da un aire de celebración a un tema serio y sincero.</p>\n<p><img src=\"/images/IMG_0133-2-1024x1024_large.jpg\" alt=\"\"></p>\n<p>La edición es un lanzamiento numerado a mano, que consta de un disco de 7 pulgadas, de 33 1/3 RPM de dos canciones.

Cuando el tema salió, era muy cercano a la época en que estaba prohibido usar la bandera de Puerto Rico en público… podían darte hasta una condena de 10 años de cárcel. En Puerto Rico mucha gente simpatiza con la idea, pero no les gusta decirlo en público. El sindrome del colonizado. **</p>\n<p>La banda siempre ha tenido letras con contenido sociopolítico. ¿Cómo describirías el papel de eso en tu arte?¿De quién fue la idea de cubrir la canción?</p>\n<p>**Pienso que la música es un medio de expresión y de transmitir mensajes. En nuestro caso, el mensaje que deseamos transmitir es uno de conciencia para las nuevas generaciones. ¿Que mejor protesta que la que va perpetuada en una canción? No recuerdo exactamente de quié fue la idea pero desde que la escuché me pareció interesante para ser interpretada por la orquesta en algún momento. **</p>\n<p>¿Cómo te enteraste de la versión de la canción Yankee Go Home y el álbum original de donde viene (Los Patriotas / Daniel Santos - Davilita)?</p>\n<p>**Vino un compañero de banda (Yussef) y me trajo una copia en CD-R… hace quizás unos 8 años. No conocía yo de este disco antes de eso. **</p>\n<p>¿Cómo es relevante para la banda y las cosas de hoy en tu país?</p>\n<p>**Pienso que la canción fue lanzada en un momento importante para Puerto Rico, sin planificar. Nosotros jamás aprovecharíamos una crisis social o política para mercadear nuestra música. Es muy relevante porque habla de un problema que ha acechado a Puerto Rico por más de 500 años, y es ser la propiedad y prisionero de otra nación. Pasan los años pero nada cambia. **</p>\n<p><img src=\"/images/hqdefault_011cbc87-dd06-4a68-b933-519611428a97_large.jpg\" alt=\"\"></p>\n<p><strong>YANKEE GO HOME</strong> (Daniel Santos)</p>\n<p>Si mi pobre Puerto Rico</p>\n<p>es libre y es asociado,</p>\n<p>Si mi pobre Puerto Rico</p>\n<p>es libre y es asociado.</p>\n<p>Porqué no lo ha respetado</p>\n<p>como se respeta a un socio,</p>\n<p>cuando se habla del negocio,</p>\n<p>ese de la independencia,</p>\n<p>y es de muchos la creencia</p>\n<p>que a Muñoz lo han trasquilado.</p>\n<p>Porqué no se llevan sus aviones,</p>\n<p>porqué no se llevan sus cañones,</p>\n<p>poqué no se llevan sus matones,</p>\n<p>y se van de aquí, y se van de aquí.</p>\n<p>Fuera yankee go home, fuera yankee</p>\n<p>Fuera yankee go home, fuera yankee</p>\n<p>Fuera yankee go home, fuera yankee</p>\n<p>Fuera yankee go home, fuera yankee.</p>\n<p>De aquí son los cuchifritos,</p>\n<p>la batata y el coquí,</p>\n<p>De aquí son los cuchifritos,</p>\n<p>la batata y el coquí,</p>\n<p>Los que dicen hay bendito,</p>\n<p>esos si que son de aquí.</p>\n<p>Fuera yankee go home, fuera yankee</p>\n<p>Fuera yankee go home, fuera yankee</p>\n<p>Fuera yankee go home, fuera yankee</p>\n<p>Fuera yankee go home, fuera yankee.</p>\n<p>Los pasteles y el sofrito,</p>\n<p>el coquito y el maví,</p>\n<p>Los pasteles y el sofrito,</p>\n<p>el coquito y el maví,</p>\n<p>El mofongo y el caimito,</p>\n<p>esos si que son de aquí.</p>\n<p>Fuera yankee go home, fuera yankee</p>\n<p>Fuera yankee go home, fuera yankee</p>\n<p>Fuera yankee go home, fuera yankee</p>\n<p>Fuera yankee go home, fuera yankee.</p>",

Though not exactly a reunion album—the band haven’t stopped recording and touring together in one form another for the past 18 years—Lugo contends _100 Fevers_ is the best representation of what Kokolo has always been, an “eclectic mélange of influences that reflect what is going on within us as a band as well as in our lives at that particular moment in time” which “further expand[s] Kokolo’s search for the funkiest groove,” a quest that Lugo hopes “never ends” but which he feels has benefitted by the band stepping back and “let[ting] our sound ‘breathe’ a bit and return with a fresher outlook.”\n\n \n\nThe record is fresh indeed and illustrates what Lugo calls “the variety of moods that exists in life itself” and it’s this eclecticism and variety that makes the album an invigorating experience from start to finish. “Recording variations of the same idea over and over has never held interest for me” admits Lugo, and one gets the feeling his band members must feel the same way. Working with Casey Howard (Saxophone), Chris Morrow (Trombone), Neil Chastain (Drums/Congas), Kavin Paulraj (Bass), Andy Averbuch (Guitar) and Jake Fader (Guitar) for so long certainly facilitated the album recording process because at this point Lugo feels “we all know each other quite well both on stage and in the studio” and “the band and I have been very fortunate to experience many wonderful things together over the years, but time has also brought about changes to each of us and these songs reflect some of this collective evolution.” There are elements of Colombian cumbia and champeta, Latin funk, reggae, ska, Brazilian, house, disco, psychedelic, and jazz elements, calypso, salsa, even gospel (with secular, double entendre lyrics!), as well as electronic beats and DJ looping and mixing techniques blending with organic, acoustic orchestral sounds, plus some mean guitar and of course African roots from high life and soukous to the Nigerian mother load called afrobeat. As with previous Kokolo releases, Spanish and Portuguese vocals are in as much evidence as English ones. Special guests include Jo Jojo Kuo from Cameroon and Elani from Brazil. Every tune is danceable but each has its own vibe from up to down tempo, protest to dance culture, social justice to hedonism. The record comes with an insert featuring an interview with Lugo, full credits and lyrics. The album ends with the lilting, mellow _La Buena Fe_ , a track that points to the central theme of the record. “If nothing else, the message I like for people to take away from listening to Kokolo or seeing us live is this: positivity,” concludes Lugo. We live “in a world often filled with drama and problems,” and so Lugo “would like to think that being positive, thankful, can account for something. It provides an alternative.” Put the whole thing together and you get a heady mix that is sure to pass the fever on to whoever listens.",

We've got a fresh bouquet o **Flor de Toloache** songs for you!\n\n_ \n_\n\nThe amazing all-woman** Flor de Toloache **and your humble servants at **Peace & Rhythm **have teamed up again, this time to reissue—for the first time ever on vinyl—the band’s auspicious debut recording, the 2015 **Latin Grammy Nominated** album **_Mariachi Flor De Toloache_**. In 2016 our label released a 45 of two dance floor tracks from the album (\"Dicen\" / \"When We Love\") just in time for us to present them, along with **Deans Beans** Fair Trade Coffee, on the stage at **Green River Festival** that same year. But making a 45 was never enough for us; it was always a dream of ours to get the whole first album out on glorious vinyl and we are really excited that that has now become a reality! Why? Because we love this band and we love this album and the cover artwork too, so the idea of making a12 and a quarter inch cover with a beautifully pressed record inside - and collaborating with our buddies to make this happen - made us as happy as a flower in the sunshine! Now it's May and we're ready for your orders.\n\nBut first a little about the release:\n\n\n\nThe record showcases deep and melodic mastery of instruments and vocals as well as a generational understanding of traditional Mariachi, successfully passed down from vocalist/violinist **Mireya Ramos** ’s Mariachi musician father Armando and an extensive river of influences from her music loving mother Carmen. This is all interwoven with the modern R&B/soul influences of **Shae Fiol** (vocals, _vihuela_ , guitar), whose songwriting shines as she translates her tracks into the rustic and folky ambiance of Mariachi. Beautiful original arrangements give wings to trumpeter **Julie Acosta** , **Jackie Coleman** and **Anna García** , who combine with **Domenica Fossatti** ’s dazzling flute work to achieve unparalleled orchestral heights in the all-important brass section. The classic Mariachi violin sound comes courtesy of **Luisa Bastidas** and **Eva Lou Vossmerbäumer** who are joined by **Verónoca Medellín** on _guitarrón_ , **Lila Downs** band member **George Saenz** on trombone, **Andy Averbuch** (**Kokolo**) on _bachata_ guitar, and members of NYC’s **Banda de los Muertos**. The material is refreshingly unique and yet rooted in tradition as well, and ranges across styles, regions and influences, from huapango to son, cumbia to salsa, bachata to bolero, Afro-Cuban to blues. There is also a touch of country/Americana, jazz and American popular song added to round things out.This specially mastered vinyl version (created by **Pete Maher** and pressed by **Burlington Record Plant**) sounds incredible, and is available in black and limited **hot pink** editions.\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\nWatch this excellent Tiny Desk concert with **Flor de Toloache** :",

The classic Mariachi violin sound comes courtesy of <strong>Luisa Bastidas</strong> and <strong>Eva Lou Vossmerbäumer</strong> who are joined by <strong>Verónoca Medellín</strong> on <em>guitarrón</em> , <strong>Lila Downs</strong> band member <strong>George Saenz</strong> on trombone, <strong>Andy Averbuch</strong> (<strong>Kokolo</strong>) on <em>bachata</em> guitar, and members of NYC’s <strong>Banda de los Muertos</strong>. The material is refreshingly unique and yet rooted in tradition as well, and ranges across styles, regions and influences, from huapango to son, cumbia to salsa, bachata to bolero, Afro-Cuban to blues. There is also a touch of country/Americana, jazz and American popular song added to round things out.<img src=\"/images/MFDT_Group_pic2_large.jpg\" alt=\"\">This specially mastered vinyl version (created by <strong>Pete Maher</strong> and pressed by <strong>Burlington Record Plant</strong>) sounds incredible, and is available in black and limited <strong>hot pink</strong> editions.</p>\n<p><img src=\"/images/IMG_6611_large.jpg\" alt=\"\"></p>\n<p>Watch this excellent Tiny Desk concert with <strong>Flor de Toloache</strong> :</p>",

Yes, you heard right, Cuban rock ‘n’ roll has an ‘abuelo’ — maybe you didn’t know there even was such a thing as ‘el rock cubano’ — but there is, and even if he’s not a household name, Iván Fariñas should be, as he’s extremely talented and is arguably the oldest still practicing _rockero_ from behind The Mango Curtain since he started in the 1950s. He claims to have written and recorded the first Cuban blues-rock tune in English — over 40 years ago. Fariñas founded his current group Viento Solar (Solar Wind) in 1975 and was not able to record his music officially until the late 1990s. Though his recordings are known somewhat in Europe and South America, his official physical releases are not distributed beyond Cuba and he remains undiscovered in the United States.

"body": "\n\n### **Moments of Ecstatic High Energy Melt Into Soft Expansion**\n\n\"It takes audacity to start a song with questions as big and unanswerable as 'Where did we come from? Who are we really?' But for Western Massachusetts duo **Home Body** , those kind of grand cosmic queries are totally natural, fitting snugly into music that digs deep and shoots for the stars. The soaring voice of **Haley Morgan** and the throbbing, hovering electronics of **Eric Hnatow** create songs that are always on the rise, grounded by cardiac beats but unafraid to fly into the sun. On their ambitious second full-length record, **Spiritus** , Home Body ruminates on darkness, the light, and all the tiny intangible shifts that add up to transformation and change. Three years in the making, the self-produced album is lush with character and detail, displaying moments of ecstatic high energy melting into soft expansion, coaxed along by ghostly textured synths, momentum mounting, spirit settling. Romantic partners for over a decade and collaborators for almost as long, Morgan and Hnatow have been creatively telepathic for a while, and on **Spiritus** their innate connections produce songs in which every joint and muscle works in consort. 'The pieces of the puzzle fit together like voices,' Morgan sings in 'Lightning,' succinctly describing the duo's tightly-knit music. Home Body aren't afraid to sprawl, though. Their live performances are often dizzying spectacles featuring a home-made light show and elements of modern dance. **Spiritus** may present only the audio portion of that two-person extravaganza, but in its wide arrangements, sharply-honed turns, and ever-ascending moods, Home Body's music is as three dimensional as real life.\" —**Marc Masters** , 2019\n\n \n\n_Fever-pop_ duo **Home Body** ignores convention with their vivid blend of electronic, new wave, and experimental pop music, performed from the gut with wild abandon and art-school-cool theatricality. Balancing textured layers of juicy synthesizers, gritty beats, and tectonic bass with spirited, stormy vocals, synthesist **Eric Hnatow** and vocalist **Haley Morgan** create a visceral sonic landscape that feels equal parts cosmic, fleshy and electric. Emerging from the vibrant Western Mass music scene, Home Body plays with form and improvisation while retaining a dreamy pop sensibility and demanding presence. Live, the duo punctuates their sound with dance and DIY manual light manipulation, reaching beyond their performance to create a high-vibration spectacle that is buzzing with soul, shadow, and depth.\n\n \n\nSweethearts for over twelve years, Hnatow and Morgan have been been making music as Home Body since 2011. The duo’s chemistry and unique sound have garnered an enthusiastic fan base throughout the Northeast U.S. and beyond. Drawing comparisons to The Knife, Bjork, Sylvan Esso, and early Eurythmics, Home Body has performed close to 400 shows across the North America since their inception, supporting acts such as Dan Deacon, Boy Harsher, Marco Benevento, TEEN, Guerilla Toss, Pumarosa, and Downtown Boys. In addition to their debut full length In Real Life (2012), and a follow up EP Guts (2014), the duo has scored fashion shows and dance performances and has made music for films and commercials. Album is now available to order!\n\n \n\nCheck out the new video for \"Comet\" from **Spiritus** :\n\nFrom the album release party at the Shea Theater:\n\n",

"body": "****\n\n**Peace & Rhythm** is very excited to announce today the new release b **MAKU Soundsystem** , **5 Fuegos**! Their fifth release finds the Brooklyn-based, self-proclaimed “immigrant beat” band with a fresh new stripped down sound of five players: bass, guitar, drums, percussion, and vocals. Appropriately, the emphasis is on the beat, and while the brass section and keyboards are now gone, the principle vocalists **Liliana Conde** (who plays electronic percussion as well) and bassist **Juan Ospina** are still leading the charge with their stirringly emotional voices out front. Also as before, the heartfelt lyrics inspire you to feel with your heart while you dance to the polyrhythms with your feet. And as on their last Peace & Rhythm release **The Mix** , **MAKU Soundsystem** 's dynamic duo front peeps Liliana and Juan are supported by guitarist **Camilo Rodríguez** , **Andrés Jiménez** on drum kit, and master percussionist **Moris Cañate** on _tambor alegre_ (folkloric Colombian hand drum) with all three sharing backing vocals. **5 Fuegos** means “Five Fires” and is named for the five members of the band as well as the five songs on the record. The EP features five smoking psychedelic tunes full of originality, hot rocking Afro-funk and deep Colombian roots, each one energized by a burning inner light. The title also alludes to the fact that there are many kinds of fire, encompassing a multitudinous spectrum from destruction to healing, from glowing black coals to illuminating flame, and thus it’s important to recognize the wholeness of it, the good coming out of the bad. As the album dedication puts it, the band steps “on firmly and in gratitude with the spirit of life, for the past, the present and the future.” Indeed, the album is about renewal and rebirth in the cleansing aftermath of conflagration because, “like pyrophyte seeds and plants” the band “will sprout from the inclement fire of our times, for these are the times we got; to sprout from inclemency is part of nature. The dedication goes on to declare that “with music our internal fyah stays alive; with the love of people everything becomes possible…love of a higher calling. With 5 Fuegos we will green the fields again and again.” This limited edition record also contains two bonus instrumental versions to inspire MCs and remixers. Download card included.
