BATTLE OF SANTIAGO "La Migra" CD

A shocking sound of <Modern Psychedelia x Post-Rock x Afro-Cuban>! Be amazed by the coolness you've never experienced before!

A driving percussion beat! A sharp psychedelic guitar! A howling saxophone! An inciting Latin vocal! The trancey groove delivered by this seven-piece band hits you right in the brain and your hips!

BATTLE OF SANTIAGO, a large band of seven men and women based in Toronto, Canada, has made their shocking debut in Japan with their third album! They play guitar, bass, drums, Latin percussion, synths, saxophone, flute, and even Latin vocals depending on the song, creating an unprecedented sound that could be called "Afro-Cuban post-rock" that is different from conventional Latin mixtures! The effected guitar and vocals create a modern psychedelia, the exchange of drums and percussion creates a strong groove, and the sometimes freaky saxophone brings a mysterious thrill. While the band's experimental spirit is apparent in many places, the sound is sophisticated and innovative, stirring up the listener's sense of euphoria and leading them into a trance-like state. It's sure to captivate listeners of ethnic post-punk like Melt Yourself Down, Latin mix fans like Manu Chao, and Afro-beat fans like Fela Kuti! It's a powerful sound that brings the mayhem of an outdoor festival into your mind!
