Somos Uno

Somos Uno reprograms the endless groove of cumbia for a generation raised on genre-bending rock. While the compulsive rhythm of that classic sound provides the album with its foundation, synth-obsessed indie quartet Centavrvs also pour all sorts of unusual influences into these jittery jams and blissful ballads. They borrow punchy horns and psychedelic hooks from vintage Tropicália ("Debilidad"), revive the tropical sway of Balearic-era disco anthems ("El Punto Final") and put a riotously Latin spin on the propulsive beat of '80s post-punk ("Quebrar las Ventanas").
