Mambo cósmico

"Perhaps the thought of a complete album of mambo, cha cha and occasional surf doesn't excite you but, given a listen it will certainly entertain ... The album is certainly fun, it exudes enjoyment and is most certainly one of the feel-good albums of the year. It zips between traditional Mexicana whilst stopping off at sweaty psychedelia along the way, its feet positioned in the 1950s and occasionally stepping out to the 60s and 70s. Mostly instrumental, it will often surprise you and will have you, whether you feel you want to or not, tapping an appendage to the beats".

"Sonido Gallo Negro's third album, Mambo Cósmico, plunges listeners into a complex tapestry of sound. Their music balances a psychedelic richness with cumbia, a type of Colombian folkloric music. Mambo Cósmico finds influence from Mexican, Latin American, American and Middle Eastern music. Sonido Gallo Negro is comprised of nine musicians who carefully yet masterfully endow their music with a global pulse. Mambo Cósmico is driven by cumbia's buoyant and consistent rhythms that create a sonically rich and bounteous album".
