Orquesta Monte Calvo

PRODUKTBESCHREIBUNGEN
Corvallis, Oregon-based Orquesta Monte Calvo (Bald Hill Orchestra) plays Afro-Latin music, with emphasis on Peruvian and Colombian popular dance music from the 1960's and 1970's. It's a highly danceable blend of psychedelic guitar, Hammond organ, bass, a three-piece percussion section, and Spanish vocals. Latin America is a melting pot of indigenous, African and European cultures and musical styles. While the music of Cuba and Brazil might be better known, Peru and Colombia both have distinct and fascinating music cultures that deserve wider recognition. Peruvian Chicha music gets it's name from a liquor made from fermented corn or pineapple skins. Chicha music evolved in Andean oil towns, merging mountain folk melodies, cumbia rhythms imported from Africa via Colombia and Venezuela, and the sounds of psychedelic rock. The festejo and zamacueca styles come from the Peruvian coastal areas, and derive from African traditions originally from the Congo and Angola. Champeta Criollo music, from Colombia, fuses African popular styles such a Nigerian afrobeat and Ghanian highlife, with traditional cumbia and North American funk. Orquesta Monte Calvo melds these sources into a funky, high-energy, danceable blend. Credits released 23 September 2011 Otto Gygax: cajón, bongos, congas, shekere, misc.
