“Ritmo Babilonia” is the last song that advances the new album by Mexican Institute of Sound (IMS), together with beck and Meridian Brothers.
When the American indie musician beck gets into the studio with the avant-garde Colombian artist Eblis Alvarez and the Mexican cultural agitator Camilo Larait would be logical to expect a clash of universes. But far from any friction, what appears is a common language: an artistic complicity that overcomes borders, scenes and labels.
“Tovar Noise”a collaborative album that focuses on a decisive moment for Mexican tropical music: that decade between 1972 and 1982 in which the arrival of synthesizers forever transformed the rhythm, the groove and the very way of producing.
But it would be a mistake to reduce the project to a simple exercise in nostalgia. More than recreating the past, the album functions as a meeting point between two artists from different traditions who share the same obsession: erasing the borders between the experimental and the danceable, between tradition and innovation, between the local and the global.
He May 22the public will finally be able to enter that conversation and the LP “Noise Tovar”. The rest will happen on the dance floor.
