Anthology Of Experimental Music From Latin America

Not the walls that should collapse is that passive place and "of craftsmanship" that the market has given to the Latin American. Today, for a Latin American artist to be recognized in the global art markets, he must be able to say "from here I speak". Recovering myths, traditions, ancestral cultures and popular are some of the twists that artists seek to be legitimized. "And I wonder: why? Already when you start working with record labels, you realize that it is the same market that imposes these criteria of legitimacy. It's interesting. Why do not other people need it to create their own language? We need instrumentalists able to think and live up to their time. They will be accused of heretics, yes, but I invite you to heresy.

REVIEWS

THE WIRE MAGAZINE
Anthology Of Experimental Music From Latin America Various Unexplained Sounds CD/ DL Italy’s Unexplained Sounds label specialises in international experimental compilations. Anthology Of Experimental Music From Latin America is among the label’s most compelling collections. “Leaving The Body” – from Mexico’s Tarme Til Alle – leaves this planet in cascading, shoegaze-y whorls of flammable synthesizer. On “KhipuKoding”, Peru’s Paola Torres Núñez del Prado shaloms through mirrored, hallucinated chutes. Argentina’s Pablo Ribot wraps cracked prisms in cellophane with “Mantra”. Paulo Motta of Brazil contributes “Index Dial Maracatu”, a vortex of shattering digital crystals and bedazzled rainpool bleep. Spain’s Emiliano HernandezSantana massages dark seethe and rattling segue into “Islas De Fango”, the soundtrack to an imagined cult noir where the nameless city never stops changing colours and all the actors lack faces.

If nothing else, the ongoing Sound Mapping project from Unexplained Sounds Group has established that excellent experimental music can be found in every populated geography on the planet. We should all know that intuitively, but at this point there is no counterargument.
