SON ROMPE PERA『Marimbazos De Oro』CD

The latest album from Mexico's six-piece "Cumbia Punk" band, SON ROMPE PERA, who are taking the world by storm with their "golden" marimba and fierce punk spirit!
Their electrifying sound, featuring distorted marimbas—an indispensable instrument in traditional Latin American music—blends cumbia, punk, ska, and rock into a unique groove that is creating a growing legion of fans!
Their one-of-a-kind sound, which has electrified Vive Latino, Coachella, Fuji Rock, and music festivals around the world, finally makes its Japanese debut!

With the marimba—an indispensable instrument in traditional Latin American music—elevated into a distinctive electric sound through amplifiers and distortion, SON ROMPE PERA's latest work places the instrument at the center of their performance. Building on a foundation of cumbia, they have blended a wide variety of musical styles, including punk, ska, rock, and bolero. This latest release features Adrian Quesada, also known as a member of Black Pumas, as producer, and evolves their sound to incorporate vintage Latin, Chicano soul, and psychedelic sensibilities. The band's core, the Gama brothers, learned the marimba from their father, José Dolores "Batuco" Gama, from early childhood. Their background of absorbing traditional music into their bodies while also immersing themselves in street cultures such as punk and ska is strongly reflected in this latest work, as well as their debut album, "Batuco" (2020). It is no exaggeration to call it an ongoing street sound that fuses traditional and contemporary musical elements. This notable work also features guest appearances by artists who update traditional styles with modern sounds, including La Rom, an instrumental trio known for creating unique grooves based on traditional sounds such as bluegrass, rockabilly, and vintage Latin; Zac Sokolow; Colombia's leading salsa band La Pambelé; and new-generation Chicano soul singer Trish Toledo.
