ROLANDO BRUNO Y EL GRUPO AREVALO Vinilo y CD

Review: Argentina's cumbia maestro Rolando Bruno returns with his new album, Cosas Raras. This release showcases Bruno and Grupo Arevalo's signature "cumbia trash" style-a vibrant fusion of Peruvian cumbia, punk, and eclectic pop culture references like UFOs and horror movies. The album, their third, expands their musical horizons by incorporating Arabic and flamenco influences, Afro disco, Japanese pop, Latin American ballads, and Dominican merengue. The lead single, 'Merentrash,' offers a danceable 'merenrap' with a retro Miami flair. As part of the experimental tropical music scene, Bruno's project aims to gain wider recognition in the U.S. with its infectious rhythms and psychedelic flair.
