Richmond has hosted three Colombian bands in the last six months: La Perla, Meridian Brothers and Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto. And now add a fourth, the biggest and maybe the most exciting of all of them: La Sonora Mazurén (LSM), who will play the Get Tight Lounge on Wednesday September 25.
LSM is a seven-piece rhythm machine from Bogotá with four percussionists (including two of the women from La Perla) and a bass guitar laying down the grooves, plus electric guitar, keyboards, accordion and lots of voices on top. They're a sort of pan-American psychedelic dance band who take traditional rhythms from all over South and Central America in unexpectedly lysergic directions.
I'll introduce you to LSM this week on Global A Go-Go by playing a couple of tracks from their marvelous forthcoming third album Magnetismo Animal which will be released on October 4 (I think this will be an American radio premiere) and a couple of older ones as well.
Also this week (Sunday September 1, 1:00-3:00 PM on WRIR, for two weeks afterwards at wrir.org/listen, check your local listings for airing on other radio stations, and any old time at my podcast site): Some dubby reggae to get things started, Central African guitar hits, acoustic Mande music from Mali, West African funk and hip hop, and soulful house music from South Africa.
